As your boat draws into the bay, it s the green that hits you first: the emerald-green waters, and the verdant green of the bush fringing the beach. It s only after you have absorbed that, that you notice what really sets this beach apart from most others in Sydney: there is no-one on it.
Store Beach, on Manly s North Head, is accessible only by boat, which makes it a great place to play castaway. Visiting celebrities love it, according to Scott Bear, part of the concierge team at the Park-Hyatt Sydney. They know about Bondi Beach, but they love discovering these smaller beaches, says Bear, who often arranges private boat trips around the harbour for his VIP guests. Our guests know about the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, but it s these amazing local experiences that they really enjoy.
