Bulli Beach

Highlight • Beach

Bulli Beach is a long surf beach backed by dunes, open grass reserve, and the escarpment rising behind the coastline. The beach is around 900 metres long and is well known for surfing, with Sandon Point forming its northern headland. A shared walking and cycling path runs beside the sand, linking the northern suburbs along the coast. Conditions can change quickly, with rips and surf depending on swell and tide.

Coastal View of Illawarra

Highlight • Viewpoint

This lookout rewards you with clear views along the shore, where the Illawarra escarpment runs alongside the ocean in the distance. The viewpoint sits just above the water, with rock platforms and smaller bays breaking up the shoreline. It’s an easy place to stop along the track, with uninterrupted views in both directions.

McCauleys Beach

Highlight • Beach

McCauleys Beach is separated from the main stretch of sand by rock platforms and smaller reefs. The beach is known locally as an off-leash dog beach and generally feels quieter than nearby Sandon Point. A coastal path runs above the sand with views north and south along the coastline, while the escarpment rises sharply behind the suburb. Surf conditions can still be rough here, with rips and exposed sections depending on swell
