Fiddamans

Fiddamans is a beach located in Sandy Beach, stretching between two rocky headlands with a double bar formation and powerful ocean currents. The shoreline has steep sections and deeper waters that often appear dark and dramatic.

The beach has remained in its natural state through conservation efforts, reflecting the unchanged coastal landscape of northern New South Wales. Its geology and water patterns have evolved over time without significant human alteration.

Surfers and fishers find their way to this spot regularly, drawn by the conditions and the sense of seclusion that comes with reaching it on foot.

You can only reach this beach on foot, either from Sandy Beach to the north or by following a trail from Diggers Point. Parking is limited nearby, so plan for a short walk to get here.

This stretch has a high hazard rating due to energetic surf conditions and persistent rip currents that form near both headlands. These currents develop from the double bar formation and the rocky points on either side.
