MILK BEACH, SYDNEY
Sydney has somewhere in the region of about 100 beaches – both harbour and ocean, north and south – so it shouldn't come as a surprise to find there are still stretches of sand here untrodden by a million feet. Milk Beach is one of those locations, an inlet in a spectacular location in you-can't-afford-it Vaucluse, with views over the harbour to the bridge and the city skyline on one side, and a whole heap of fantasy mansions on the other.
There's only about 50 metres of sand here, so it's good thing Milk Beach is tricky to access: with no carpark or direct road link-up, you'll have to join the Hermitage Foreshore walking track from either Rose Bay or Watsons Bay. To find yourself a spot here for a swim and a sunbake is, however, well worth the effort.
