Cross the metal bridge over shallow Crooked River to 7 Mile Beach. The River is shallow in most area. Safe for kids to get in the water and play. The beach itself is also monitored by Life Savers during daylight.

Avoca Beach

1.5 hrs drive to Sydney north. Plenty of parking on both north and south side of the beach.

If you are a dog lover, you will possibly like to take your dog to the center of the beach, where Avoca Lake meets the ocean.

And, if you are not a great dog lover and want to spend some quality time with your kids and family, make your way to the south side. Near the Surf Club, you will find plenty of parking and restaurant. Picnic and Toilet facility available.

The rock pool is nicely done with plenty of sea creature you can spot if you decide to snorkel. Check the under water video footage I included.

Fairy Creek - North Wollongong

Address: Stuart Park is located on Cliff Rd, North Wollongong, NSW, Australia

Only 1 hr drive down south from Sydney.
The place has several BBQ shed, Newly built amenities and kids play ground. Also has a sea food restaurant at the end of Cliff Road. This is where Fairy Creek meets the ocean water during high tide.

The creek water was salt water, clear and warm. Most of the water depth was knee high. Makes it safe for the kids to play in water.

I also spotted fish in that creek. You might grab your rod to try your luck.

 

CoalCliff Rock Pools

Address: 24 Paterson Rd, Coalcliff NSW 2508. 1 hr drive down south from Sydney. Park your car next to the little playground. And follow the footpath, that takes you straight down to the rock pools. You will find the toilet facility on your right.

A beautiful picturesque area. Make sure you go on a low tide, si you get the chance to explore the area. In high tide, the strong southern waves are not safe.

The large salt water pool is ok for a safe swim. But this time I gave it a miss, as it was infested by weed growth.

But, well worth of travel.
