Sydney's best-known beach, a kilometre of sand between two sandstone headlands, facing east-south-east. The beach break works on south-east to north-east swell, and westerly to north-westerly winds are offshore. The southern end, beside the rip known as the Backpackers' Express, usually has the better bank. Crowded all year, with surfing areas kept apart from the flagged swimming zones.
