Seven Shillings Beach

Seven Shillings Beach is a small, quiet beach nestled amidst a posh villa area. Its location in close proximity to the city of Sydney makes it a convenient getaway. The beach is not too big, which allows it to maintain a peaceful atmosphere without being overly crowded. It offers different spaces catering to kids, families, teenagers, and individuals seeking solitude or a fun time with friends.

The beach is characterized by its sandy front that leads to the harbour, with small boats moored in the bay adding to the picturesque outlook. The view extends to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, providing a scenic backdrop. The eastern end of the beach is home to marine life, including baby stingrays, adding to its natural charm. However, visitors should be aware of large storm water drains that feed onto the beach, which can be hazardous for children.

Swimming at Seven Shillings Beach is generally safe, with an enclosed pier with nets and two floating pontoons. The beach also has good facilities including a shaded cafe, lockers, and bathrooms. Accessibility is facilitated by ramps from the road down to the cafe and a flight of steps leading to the sand. Despite its serene environment, the beach does not have many waves, but occasional soft currents may appear due to the movement of boats. Please note that dogs are not allowed on this beach.
