Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After not getting a parking space in the bay before, thought this would be very busy as well. No issues in getting parked, although there is no parking area, it is on the side of the road. 15 mins down to the beach and there is a long drop next to the beach.

We drove to the parking and a few minute walk to the beach allows us for some stunning views. The rock was cool, but the beach and sea formed caves were pretty awesome too. Remember to go at low tide. I was hoping to walk across to the "apple" but the water looked slightly more deep than I wanted. Later took a ride on a tour boat to see it from water which was pretty nice too.

This is a cool little spot to spend half an hour if you are in the area. There is an easy 10 minute walk through the bush (there are some stairs) to get to the beach. I would take rock shoes and go around the rocks from the left as you can get a great photo of the rock from this vantage point and also explore the rock pools and caves.

This beautiful beach is easily accessible from land. There is a short walk through the bush from the carpark. Amazing golden sand and rock formations.

such a gorgeous spot - beautiful road to it and lovely walk from the road - at low tide easy to access, but we managed at high tide too, to swim across, stunning beach walk - definitely worthy of a full afternoon

Took a boat trip out to the rock. Interesting coastal scenery and of course the rock, with different views as you circle it.

We definitely got to see this from all angles on our cruise of the area. It is quite amazing to see.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Split Apple Rock beach. There is a circle drop off area before you park your car on a nearby road. The 20 min. hike into the beach is nicely layed out with wooden stairs and nice paths. The beach itself is so peaceful and fun to see all the people enjoying themselves. We went a bit after peak time, so it wasn't very crowded. The split apple rock is very impressive. We highly recommend a visit to Split Apple Rock.

There's a lovely beach here reached by a short walk from the road above. A delightful place to while away the hours.

Stunning, a great swimming beach clear water and calm.
There’s a toilet and shade from
Trees.
However check the tides if it’s king tides there is no beach and your 10
Minutes walk will be disappointing.
