Yep, it's another beach. Little Beach, in Bouddi National Park. This sneaky Sydney spot is the perfect place to set up camp for a weekend of relaxing and literally watching the world go by. While we were there one seemingly dreary weekend, we saw a group of ocean kayakers pull up on the beach and proceed to unpack an entire campsite's worth of gear from their vessels, a pod (group? family?) of probably humpback whales, a group of what seemed to be maybe a youth group with totally bizarre pre-cooked food (...pre cooked pancakes and a sauce they just had to warm up on the hotplate...). And you thought you were getting away from it all!
There are six allocated campsites here which you pre-book through National Parks, a loo and a BBQ. The walk from the car is short (1km) but steep - we brought one of those hand trolleys that you can get at Bunnings for $20. Part of the adventure is arriving in the small carpark at the top of the hill in the pitch black of the night - no streetlights around here - and grappling your way down the firetrail to pop out at the beautiful moonlit beach.
As for daytime activities, you can head up the headland on either side and walk along the trail to Macmasters Beach or Killcare but to be honest once you're down here with some cheese n crackers and a book, it's pretty hard to get up and do anything!
