Hermit Bay

I love secret little hideaway spots that no one ever seems to know about! This is certainly one of them. This side of Sydney has achieved it’s fame from it’s gorgeous views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge from a distance, the waters are sprinkled with docked boats and kayakers, and just when you start to feel like you’re swimming in someones backyard, you realize that you actually are!
Hermit Bay is not as well known as it’s neighbour Milk Beach, and in fact, you need to take a detour of narrow steep rock steps cut into the cliffside as you’re on your way to Milk Beach to get to Hermit Bay. It’s not advertised and you wont find any directions to this place anywhere, but you’ll happen to stumble across these ‘Alice In Wonderland’ style steps and if you’re anything like me, be curious enough to wander down them to the magical lagoon style bay beneath!
Definitely one for the nudists! The privacy and seclusion of this tiny bay is adorable! There’s a small sandy area where you can lay your towel down for a sun bake, and a tiny little bay area where you can swim out into the open Harbour! Great spot to go alone, with your mates, or perfect for that romantic date you’ve been wanting to take that special someone on!
