ABOUT THIS BEACH
Chinamans Beach is a peaceful inlet tucked beside “The Spit” in Mosman, offering a quieter alternative to Sydney’s busier harbour beaches. Its calm, flat waters make it perfect for families, snorkelers, and casual swimmers looking for a relaxing day by the water. Whether you’re planning a romantic picnic, a family outing, or a catch-up with friends, Chinamans Beach provides a scenic and serene setting.
The beach sits alongside Rosherville Reserve, a large grassy park complete with a playground, BBQs, public toilets, and walking tracks. Kids can play safely on the playground, while adults enjoy picnicking or strolling along the scenic paths. The sheltered waters also make it ideal for fishing, paddleboarding, and snorkelling.
For the more adventurous, strong swimmers can explore and swim to neighbouring beaches, enjoying the quiet coves and natural beauty along the Mosman coastline. Chinamans Beach combines calm waters, family-friendly facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it one of the Northern Sydney Harbour’s hidden gems.
