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.
