Travel blogger Chester See raved about Sydney’s gem and its ‘most turquoise waters’ on Instagram video.

‘This place is very well known by locals, but little known by people outside the area. It even took me a while to find it myself,” he said.

‘The waters here are calm and perfect for swimming or sunbathing along the coast. In summer it is also great to watch the sunset here. A much quieter and more relaxing alternative compared to nearby Cronulla Beach.’

Another visitor said: ‘This gem connects to other beaches so if you want a quick dip and then a walk along the coast then this is the perfect location for that.’
