Whiting Beach

This little unknown harbour beach sits at the bottom of Taronga Zoo. If there were any animal enclosures that could give a hint to where it could be it would definitely be the Muir Cats — standing upright pointing the way.
Access to Whiting Beach is a beautiful rugged bushwalk from a residential street which clears out to this tiny beach with a spectacular view of the harbour and ferries pulling into Taronga Beach zoo ferry wharf. As its off the beaten track it does not have the manicured maintenance of our most well known beaches and there is a sign that warns of syringes that maybe hidden in the sand. I talk to some locals and they say in all the years they have been using the beach they have never come across syringes and just as much chance of finding them on the popular beaches than Whiting Beach however for the sake of my baby I keep her shoes on and watch her as she excitedly bumbles towards the water. Bring a picnic blanket also as well as beach towels as the walk is steep you may want to spend quality time on this beach.
Alot of leisure craft use the beach as a swim stop. There is only 4 other people on the actual beach which gives it a deserted feeling… well as deserted as you would find in the middle of one of the worlds most beauitful cities.
This natural gem is just a reminder of how beautiful it can be.
