Chinamans Beach

The beach also has important natural history in terms of dune landscape. In 1966, the Municipal Engineer Brian Leckey began a landscaping programme on the land being progressively acquired at Chinamans Beach. Several grassy mounds were created to match those already existing behind the beach’s sand dunes.[1] The dunes at Chinamans Beach are the last remaining dunes in Sydney Harbour. Council manually cleans the beach of litter whilst keeping natural beach wrack, such as seaweed twigs, seeds and shells, in place.
