Chinamans Beach
Mosman
Beach
Kid-Friendly
Pet-Friendly
A gentle, calm harbour beach in Mosman tucked between sandstone headlands, with shallow, clear water ideal for families and dogs. One of the quieter harbour beaches on the north shore, it has a grassy foreshore, picnic tables, and a relaxed, neighbourhood atmosphere. The water is typically calm and the sand clean. Dogs are welcome off-leash at certain times. Easily paired with a walk along the nearby Manly to Spit Bridge track.
Getting There
Drive to Mosman via the Harbour Bridge or Harbour Tunnel. Park on Rosherville Road or surrounding streets. A short path through bushland leads down to the beach. Buses run to Mosman village from the city.
Best Time to Visit
Summer mornings for swimming in the sheltered harbour. Dogs are off-leash at certain times — check Mosman Council signage before arriving with a pet.
Tips
- The harbour water here is exceptionally clear and calm — ideal for snorkelling with a mask and fins
- Check council rules for current dog off-leash hours before bringing pets
- The Manly to Spit Bridge track passes nearby — combine for a longer harbour foreshore walk
Entry & Facilities
Free. Street parking on Rosherville Road.
