A short drive from Sydney’s bustling CBD lies a hidden gem—Clovelly Beach. This beautiful, small beach is perfect for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, with its crystal clear waters and spectacular views.
Clovelly Beach is located in Sydney’s eastern suburbs and is known for its stunning beauty, crystal clear waters, and calm atmosphere. The beach is quite narrow, but deep and is framed by steep cliffs that make it one of the most picturesque spots in all of Sydney.
The beach is ideal for lounging around in the sun or swimming either at the beach or rock pool. There are also plenty of rock platforms perfect for fishing or diving off into the water if you’re feeling adventurous! You can also walk along the rocks at the end of the beach or take a stroll along the nearby Gordon’s Bay walking track if you’re looking for something a bit more low-key.
If you’re hungry after your day spent exploring Clovelly Beach, head over to Sea Salt Clovelly where you can find delicious sandwiches, salads, coffees, and other snacks. And the view is pretty spectacular.
Whether you’re looking for an escape from everyday life or just want to explore one of Sydney’s hidden gems, Clovelly Beach has something for everyone! With its clear blue calm waters, it’s no wonder why so many people flock here each year.
