👍 Nice beach, quiet and isolated, not many people. Walk from the road is not hard and rather short (about 10-15 min). There are some hand made improvised log shelters, a few small caves and a figure of a lady made out of stones ;)

👍👍 Whats not to love about Shelly Beach. It's been my morning swimming spot for the last 17 years. Has some of the most amazing fish for snorkeling and diving in Sydney and on quite a few occasions you will see dolphins and turtles.

Can be hit and miss with fish, but snorkelling close to the left side of the bay towards the Clovelly headland is your best shot. Also, try not to swim here the day or two f...
