The nearest patrolled beach is Austinmer Beach located 1km to the south. These are three hazardous little used beaches owing to the dominant rocks and rips, while Brickyard also has boat traffic. Little Austinmer Beach (also called Know Park, NSW 361) lies right besides Lawrence Hargraves Drive, however parking and access is only available on the streets opposite and at the northern end. The 330 m long sandy beach is backed by grassy slopes rising to the road with a scattering of tall pine trees. However it is not a popular spot owing to the limited access and particularly the presence of rocks and reef along most of the beach. Only toward the southern end is there limited space between the rocks to provide reasonable access to the water, however this leads to the main central rip (Fig. 4.283). If you want a dip then there is a shallow natural rock pool on the northern rock platform.
