Clovelly Beach offers a totally different experience due to its protective breakwater. The waves splash over the wall of rocks into a large, sheltered rock pool which is ideal for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. Sun-bathing is confined to concrete expanses although there is a tiny stretch of sand at the northern end. The adjacent park has picnic and barbecue facilities too. There are inspectors who patrol the beach daily and few volunteer as lifesavers over the weekends and public holidays.
