Kutti Beach is like Sydney’s best-kept secret – a secluded little harbour bay that feels like your own private paradise. Tucked away in the middle of fancy Vaucluse, it’s got this dreamy, local vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special.

Getting there is half the charm – you park on a windy hill (be patient, it’s tight) and follow this tiny path down between some seriously luxe homes. Once you step onto the sand, it’s all about those stunning harbour views and calm waters perfect for a dip. You’ll want to bring a towel and just stretch out on the beach with a good book or some snacks.

It’s not a big beach, but that’s part of the appeal – it’s quiet and relaxed, with boats bobbing in the water and the city skyline in the background. There are no facilities or cafes here, so pack what you need for the day.

It’s not pet-friendly, so leave your furry mates at home.
