Why it's worth checking out
Milk Beach sits on the shores of Sydney Harbour at Vaucluse, in the city's eastern suburbs. With 410 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a much-loved hidden gem.
The appeal is a secluded harbour beach with stunning views — a small, tucked-away stretch of sand with lovely, uninterrupted views back towards the city skyline and the Harbour Bridge, reached via the lovely Hermitage Foreshore walk. It's a genuine local treasure and a beautiful spot for a swim, a picnic or a photo, away from the crowds.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and limited facilities, and access is via a walking track, so come prepared and check current details. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
