- The beach is popular with surfers and despite the often rough surf,
less abled swimmers can avail themselves of the bogey hole or rock pool
towards the southern end of the beach.
- At the south end of the beach is a
30 metre ocean pool, one of the best known in Sydney. Directly opposite
the beach are popular cafes.
- The beach is patrolled by Waverley Council
full-time lifeguards on a daily basis (except during winter) and
volunteer lifesavers from the life saving club on weekends and public
holidays.
- A public park adjoins the beach, with provision of picnic seats
and barbecue hotplates, although parking is limited and restrictions are
strictly enforced.
- The beach is served by the number 378 Sydney City
Bus from Sydney's Central railway station or the 378 bus from the Bondi Junction
station.
- The beach is shaded by hills to the west and tends to become
cool, windy and deserted towards the end of the afternoon.
- The beach is widely represented in literature. Sylvia in Kathleen Stewart's Spilt Milk (1995) regularly walks the cliffs. Poets have often found voice on its sands.
