クッティ・ビーチ

Sydney has more than 100 beaches, but locals keep the cutest pockets to themselves. Kutti is a sheltered secret spot of golden sands, picturesque boathouses, and palm trees right in the middle of the city. Head to the absolute end of Wharf Road in Vaucluse and look hard. If you’re facing the water, you’ll see a very narrow set of stairs on your left. There are no signs leading the way to the beach—a very deliberate decision by locals—so please respect the secret, as everyone else does. In other words, don’t smoke, take your trash, and leave your boombox at home. Also, Kutti is dog-friendly. Stay away if you don’t welcome the odd sandy lick!
