Dive-site story
Set within a protected aquatic reserve between Clovelly and Coogee, this narrow pocket bay features a designated underwater nature trail linked by concrete drums and steel cable. The rocky reef flanks on either side give way to a central sandy channel adorned with kelp forests and kelp-covered boulders. Protected from most swells except direct easterlies, the bay serves as one of Sydney's most accessible marine sanctuaries.
