Watch the gentle waves lapping Queens Beach with the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background.
With a stretch of soft sand and cool waters gently lapping at the harbour coastline, Queens Beach is an inviting spot to wade out for a bit of a splash. It’s generally a quiet beach, far removed from the party atmosphere of nearby Milk Beach, so bring a towel, strip down and relax as boats race around in the distance.
