This place really does exist. A sandy beach with warm shallows on Sydney Harbour looking at the Harbour Bridge and with no one else around! There wouldn't be a more spectacular beach setting anywhere in Sydney. You can even snorkel the rocks spotting bream, leatherjacket and the odd octopus.
The reason it's not over-run with hoards is it's secret location - it's very hard to find unless you are approaching from the water. To get here you need to drive out around Sydney Harbour to the exclusive suburb of Vaucluse. Drive toward the well know Harbour Beach Neilson Park (covered in another destination report), but stop before you get there, in front of the beautiful white old mansion on the left, just before the headland park starts - it's called Strickland House.
It is a public place so you are allowed on the grounds - walk down the driveway, past the house and keep going till you reach the water where you can take in the million dollar views for free. You can either work for your whole life, save every penny, and win the lottery to buy a waterfront house here, or do as we do and just head to Milk Beach with a picnic and a smile.
