Little Marley Beach

Little Marley Beach stretches 360 meters along a south-facing shoreline, bordered by sandstone headlands reaching heights of 30 meters above sea level.

The beach formation dates back 7000 years when larger beaches covered the region, providing sand deposits that contributed to current cliff structures.

Local residents frequently visit this undeveloped beach for swimming and snorkeling activities while maintaining its natural coastal environment within Royal National Park.

Access requires a 3-kilometer walk from Marley car park on Bundeena Drive, with no lifeguard services available at this remote location.

Active transgressive dunes extend 500 meters northward, meeting Marley Swamp and Lagoon which drain into the northern section of the beach.
