Little Garie Beach, Sand beach in Lilyvale, Australia.
Little Garie Beach extends for 100 meters along the New South Wales coast, featuring a combination of sand and cobblestones against steep cliffs.
The establishment of beach facilities followed the development of Garie Beach in 1938, when the Surf Life Saving Club opened in the southern valley.
The name Garie derives from an Aboriginal Dharawal word meaning sleepy, reflecting the connection between indigenous culture and this coastal location.
Due to permanent rip currents near the northern rocks and average wave heights of 1.5 meters, swimmers need to exercise caution at this unpatrolled beach.
The beach sits where four small valleys converge at the ocean, with the northernmost valley providing natural protection from strong maritime elements.
