We were staying at Korora Beach just a bit further north. The beach is full of pebbles and rocks. We happened to fine Diggers Beach which is just lovely. Great white sand, plenty of room for everyone and a nice little wave.

A nice walk through the bush and along the cliffs from Manly Bay to Shelly Beach with lots of great outlooks along the way. Some areas require stabile footing due to rocks. Glad we wore trail running shoes. And we did this all in torrential rains. Still loved it.

I love Byron so much. It’s getting quite commercial now and the prices are up there, but I definitely love the vibe and how everything is centrally located , so I recommend getting accomodation near by so you don’t really need to touch the car unless you’re driving to surf spots. I would avoid going during schoolies and school holidays to avoid the chaos .

One of Sydney's premier inner harbour beaches. Walk along the pristine sand, swim in the refreshing waters or throw a line in and catch yourself dinner. Parking can be a challenge on weekends.
9. Pebbly Beach

Pebbly Beach is a beautiful sand beach famous for its swimming kangaroos. The local kangaroos often come down to the water for a dip on a hot summer afternoon, and if not will be lazing about on the dunes behind the beach. It is one of the only beaches in Murramarang National Park that is accessible by car.

This place exeeded all expectations....Spacious car park (don´t forget to bring coins for park entrance fees), picnic area with BBQ, truly wonderful beach with forrest and bushland reaching almost to shore. But the main attraction here is (of course ...:)) the free roaming kangaroos. You will meet them either on the grass area around the BBQ or down at the beach (on the grass areas as well). During the day they are quite lazy, mostly resting in the shades of the trees and bushes, you can see them more active in the morning or around dusk. They are (very) tame, and you can get really close, if you behave calm and quiet. Besides the roos there is plenty of other wildlife to see (of course no guarantees): plenty of birdlife (Lorikeets, King Parrots, Kookaburras, Lyrebirds, Sooty Oystercatcher etc.etc. just to name a few). If you are lucky you can encounter Goannas, Echidnas, Pythons, Swamp Wallabies and others as well. The beach itself is amazing and invites for a swim. You have the choice either to stay and explore the beach (and relax) or do some nearby bushwalks. All in all this is really an amazing place, outstanding. I will definitely return as many times as possible when i am in NSW......

A great, flat sandy beach for walking. As it is dog friendly we got to meet all breeds and spoke with many locals who are also very friendly, lol. Also, the water was still beautiful and warm for this time of year.
