Congwong Beach

Congwong Beach is a perfect spot for a relaxing family day out in Sydney's Kamay Botany National Park. Easy to reach from Cann Park in La Perouse, via a 100m path with steps, this sheltered sandy beach is great for children.

Lounge on your beach blanket, surrounded by nature, and take in beautiful views of Botany Bay and Bare Island. Bathe in gently lapping waves, or head to the rocky outcrops at either end of the beach to cast your fishing line. Congwong Beach and nearby Bare Island are popular spots for snorkelling and scuba diving, especially in spring and autumn.

It's an ideal spot to cool off after hiking the return walking tracks to Henry Head and Cape Banks, or cycling the La Perouse loop.

Watch seabirds dip and dive and keep an eye out for passing dolphins as you enjoy a beach picnic. Or, head to local cafes for lunch or dinner. Don't forget to take in the local history at Bare Island Fort and La Perouse Museum.
