Little Marley Beach, Sand beach in Royal National Park, Australia
Description
Little Marley Beach is a sand beach in Royal National Park stretching roughly 360 meters between tall sandstone cliffs. The water is clear and suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
History
The beach formed roughly 7000 years ago during a time when larger beaches covered the region and built up sand deposits. These deposits contributed to the cliff structures visible today.
Culture
Local residents frequently visit this undeveloped beach for swimming and snorkeling activities while maintaining its natural coastal environment within Royal National Park.
Practical
Access is on foot via a well-worn trail from Marley car park. There is no lifeguard on site, so visitors should take care in the water.
Did you know?
Active moving dunes extend northward from the beach and meet a swamp and lagoon system. These wet zones create a contrasting landscape quite different from the open shore.
