Why it's worth checking out
Yarra Bay Beach sits on Kooringai Avenue at Phillip Bay, on the shores of Botany Bay in Sydney's south-east near La Perouse. A relaxed, family-friendly beach with calm bay waters and soft sand, it's a much-loved local spot — a lovely, sheltered stretch of the bay's coast, away from the busier beaches, with a foreshore reserve and lovely water views.
The appeal is that combination of calm, gentle swimming water, a pretty foreshore and an easygoing, local-beach atmosphere, ideal for a swim, a stroll along the sand or a relaxed day by the bay. The sheltered waters make it great for families, and its relaxed mood and lovely outlook make it a genuine, lesser-known bayside gem.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 470 reviews, it's a much-loved beach. It's free and open year-round, but swimming conditions, parking and facilities vary, so it's worth checking conditions before you go — and taking sun protection and swimming safely — while enjoying the calm bay waters and relaxed charm of Yarra Bay Beach.
