Anson Bay, Norfolk Island, Australia

4.5 (170 reviews) Spent Ranking #9 in Norfolk Island Bodies of Water

Beautiful Beach

One of my favourite Beaches in Norfolk Island. Very picturesque. Unfortunately it is quite difficult to access if you have mobility issues. A zig zag 15 minute walk will take you to the bottom but add a few extra minutes for the return back up. So much to take in along the way with the Norfolk Pines, Rock Faces and of course the beach itself. As a bonus we were the only ones on the beach when we visited.

    This place has the wow factor
    We decided to hike down to the beach and started following the gently sloping track down. Sadly, halfway down, there was a sign saying the track was closed due to falling rocks. So, we abandoned the track and climbed down the steep hill to the beach. This seemed pretty dangerous but we wanted to get down there. In hindsight I wouldn't recommend doing this but we saw someone later do the same thing. We made it safely down but didn't swim as the sea was so rough. Cooled our feet down in some water that was skimming across the beach, and then ate some lunch we had brought with us, using the picnic table provided. We walked back up the same sloping track which luckily had no falling rocks at the time. There is a very, special cliff-face there which is worth examining. There are beautiful views available here.

    Stunning beach
    While great to view from the designated parking & picnic area, or from the pasture near the pistol range, it is also a stunning beach to walk on and dip into the water. A relatively good path down, but maybe slightly steep uphill 10 minutes back to the ridge, could deter some, but absolutely worth the effort to spend time on this beach. Photographers will love the cliff top shots down to a pristine beach and crytsal blue waters.
