Silver Beach

Silver Beach is the perfect destination for sea, sun, and surf. Located in Kurnell, this stretch of beautiful sand fronts the iconic Botany Bay. The beach’s most notable features are the 14 rock walls that project from the waters.

The rock walls, which are sometimes referred to as groynes, jut out into the bay. They were built in 1970 to control extensive beach erosion at the far eastern end of the stretch.

Silver Beach also provides an idyllic setting for a lazy afternoon stroll – perfect for pet owners who want to walk their dogs.

Note that all the other areas on the beach are off-limits for dogs.
