Just another beach. Not a great beach to swim as it is just inside the heads of Sydney harbour and sharks are a constant worry. Nice to look at and the walk around the headland is the best thing about it. You get to it by taking the Watsons Bay ferry from Circular Quay and walk along the bottom of...

apart from its historical significance, a beautiful little golden beach, rarely crowded because of few and small parking near it and no surf because in harbour. adjoinned by some stunning houses and good view of it from little hill and carpark [viaPacific Street?] on side of it towards sydney CBD. when in the area, do like all visitors for 100+...

As you walk down from the hill above this beach, you are struck with the beauty of the crystal, clear water and you feel like you've "discovered" a treasured hideaway. Looking across Camp Cove to the city is magic. Walk around to the next bay to Lady Jane, a legal nude beach.

I first went to Camp Cove in about 1950 and it was quite nice. Nowdays it is very elite and if you are not a local you are not very welcome.

Camp Cove is a pretty little bay - not very large but tucked away on Sydney Harbour in an exclusive urban area and parking can be a nightmare.. I don't think it warrants making a special effort to see, but if you are in the area it's worth stopping to have a look.

If you are visiting Sydney and would like a swim in calm water away from the surf beaches-with a great view-take the ferry to Watson's Bay and it is only a short walk to Camp Cove. This little beach is a lovely spot for a quiet swim after clambering around the walks at South Head and "The Gap" with views...

Its no open ocean so the water is average. I wouldn't go out of my way to see this beach.
