Please note

Cobblers Beach is a designated nude bathing area. But clothing is required in the surrounding bushland and on the grassed area directly behind the beach.

For a mini holiday without leaving town, Cobblers Beach is a picturesque cove ideal for swimming and picnicking, great for taking time out from a hectic city schedule. Nestled in bushland on the northern edge of Middle Head near Mosman, enjoy expansive views across the scenic foreshore to Dobroyd Head and Grotto Point Lighthouse.

Spend a relaxing afternoon snorkelling or paddling the tranquil waters. If you forget your swimmers don’t worry-it’s a designated nude bathing spot.

If you’re in the mood to explore, walk the Don Goodsir track to the 1801 Forts, which highlight Sydney’s colonial past.

Fort Denison heritage collection project

Fort Denison is home to a wealth of historic heritage. The Fort Denison heritage collection project invited volunteers to locate, identify, document, conserve, interpret and make accessible the heritage collections in Sydney Harbour National Park. This allowed NPWS to engage with the community and ensure our collections are protected.
