Camp Cove Beach

Camp Cove Beach extends 350 meters along Sydney Harbour's inner coast, featuring beige sand and clear waters with views of Middle Head and Hornby Lighthouse.

Governor Phillip and the First Fleet took refuge in Camp Cove before continuing their journey to establish the first European settlement at Sydney Cove in 1788.

Indigenous rock engravings near the beach depict marine creatures, while a rock shelter at the northern end contains evidence of Aboriginal habitation.

The beach offers facilities including restrooms, showers, picnic tables, and a kiosk, with lifeguard services operating on weekends from October through the Anzac Day weekend.

A designated boat exclusion zone protects swimmers, while an accessible beach mat during summer months enables visitors with mobility challenges to reach the water.
