It is close to the entrance to Broken Bay so tends to pick up any swell that is around, so tends to be a bit uncomfortable in anything other than calm conditions.
Plenty of room to anchor off the large sandy beach although strongly tide affected. Best for a lunchtime stop for a swim and a walk on the beach.
The point just to the West (Flint and Steel Point) is popular with fishermen who walk down the track from West Head which takes about 40 minutes.
The track is very steep but a great work out and huge reward with 360 degree views from the lookout at West Head.
