Camp Cove Beach — Attraction in Sydney

(4.5 stars)

We seem to end up at Camp Cove Beach on a Friday after work at least once a year. There’s something about its stunning Sydney skyline backdrop that helps to put a stressful week in the bin and reset you for the weekend.

Yes, parking is awful here, you’ve got to be either lucky or brave as @waverleycouncil have decided to only allow rich residents to park near the beach (who does that?), there’s no outdoor shower and the super-cute kiosk assumes you are as rich as most of the crowd seems to be.
