Nestled against dramatic sandstone cliffs, this patrolled urban beach offers golden sand and reliable waves ideal for beginner to intermediate surfers alongside calm swimming zones perfect for families. The iconic sea cliff views and proximity to the city's cafés and shops make it a vibrant social hub. Its distinctive rock pool at the southern end is fantastic for snorkelling and rock-pool exploration.
