Information

Watermans Beach is one of the best kept secrets of the Northern suburbs. The long white beach is cordoned off on either side with jagged rocky outcrops. To the South is a grassed area complete with playground, park benches and free barbeques.

The beach itself is brilliant for swimming, snorkeling and beginner surfing. It's calm with consistent breaks and very few underwater hazards. The drop off between road and sand means that car noise is reduced to almost nothing and it's always a lot quieter than the major beaches.

To the North of the beach is a cool little rocky outcrop. At high tide it can be quite dangerous but low tide reveals it's secrets. Come low tide a smooth rocky surface gives keen beach walkers a thoroughfare through to the next beach. A few secret sandy bays pop up between the rocks which provide a perfect private beach (until the tide returns at least) for the romantics.

The south side is where the family fun is. A good sized fenced of playground gives kids hours of fun while the parents can sit back on the green grass to watch the day pass by. There's enough grass for the iconic public cricket matches to get underway as well.

Each year in April, the Sorrento Surf Club run an open water swim event called Watermans to the Wall, with swimmers entering the water here at Watermans Beach and swimming north to the wall (at Hillarys marina).
