Cobblers Beach

This is a stunning little beach, hidden away in Middle Head. There are parking meters up the top, and then you walk down a rocky hill, down to this secluded little harbour beach. The water is clear and clean, and the aspect looks out onto the heads — it *almost* feels like you’re in the bush, almost. Be careful of sharp oyster shells on the rocks. Don’t expect big waves — it’s a harbour beach.
I really ought to mention, though — this is a nudist beach, so don’t wander down here unless you’re ok with taking off your togs. There are beach regulars who see themselves as custodians of the place, and mightn’t be so keen on photos, large groups of drinkers, or people wearing cozzies. Hats are completely kosher, of course. Treat it with respect, and Cobblers can be great — it’s definitely one of Sydney’s most idiosyncratic and authentic little beaches. Oh, and you really, really do not want to forget your sunscreen.
