Why it's worth checking out
Washaway Beach sits on Sydney's Lower North Shore, a tucked-away harbour beach near Cremorne and Mosman. With 60 reviews behind its 4.4 rating, it's a well-loved hidden spot.
The appeal is a peaceful, secluded slice of the harbour — a small, tucked-away beach reached by a scenic walk, with lovely harbour surrounds and a genuine sense of escape close to the city. It's a lovely, special outing.
Beaches and bushland spots have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations, and access involves a walk and can be tricky at high tide, so check current details before you go. Bring water, sun protection, sturdy footwear and take care in and around the water.
