Bulgo Beach, Sand beach in Helensburgh, Australia.
The 350-meter-long beach features golden sand bordered by steep cliffs and faces the Pacific Ocean along the New South Wales coast.
Coal miners from Helensburgh established the first fishing shacks on Bulgo Beach during the 1930s, creating a small coastal settlement.
The beach contains 53 heritage-listed fishing shacks, representing one of New South Wales' largest remaining collections of recreational coastal cabins.
Access requires a 20-minute descent via a steep trail from Otford Lookout, with no lifeguard services or direct parking at the beach.
A tidal rock pool constructed in 1930 at the southern end provides protected swimming during low tide and served as a fish storage area.
