点评:Clovelly Beach is one of the beaches along the Bondi - Coogee Coastal Walking Trail. However it’s not the prettiest of beaches. It’s hemmed in on one side by a concrete wall and man-made pool and by a rock shelf on the other side. This creates a funnel-like effect, so that the beach is more like a long narrow bay with the sand set some way back from the ocean.
On the plus side, it is generally quite calm by the water’s edge, making it a relatively safe, easy place for small children to paddle. There’s also a nice children’s playground with a nest swing, a small slide and a wooden climbing frame, and a boat.
Facilities are good. The Sea Salt Café, which overlooks the beach, is a very pleasant spot for a coffee or lunch if you want to retreat from the sun and the sand and there are public toilets near the café.
One of the real advantages that Clovelly Beach has over nearby beaches is easy parking. There’s a large, free carpark on the hill behind the Surf Life Saving clubhouse - a rare thing in the Eastern suburbs. It is time-limited but you get 4 hours.
翻译:克洛弗利海滩是邦迪-库吉海岸步行道沿线的海滩之一。不过它算不上最漂亮的海滩。海滩一侧被混凝土墙和人工泳池所环绕,另一侧则是岩石峭壁。这种地形形成了类似漏斗的效果,使得这片海滩更像是一个狭长的海湾,沙地也位于离海面稍远的位置。
不过好处是,靠近水边的地方通常相当平静,因此对于年幼的孩子来说,这里是一个相对安全且适合戏水的地方。这里还有一个很不错的儿童游乐区,里面有鸟巢形状的秋千、小型滑梯、木制攀爬架,甚至还有一艘小船。
设施也很完善。俯瞰着海滩的“Sea Salt Café”是个非常宜人的地方,如果你想避开阳光与沙滩,这里是喝咖啡或吃午餐的理想之选;咖啡馆附近还有公共厕所。
克洛弗利海滩相较于周边其他海滩的一大优势就是停车方便。这里有一个很大的停车场……冲浪救生俱乐部会所后面的山坡上有一个免费停车场——这在东郊地区可是难得一遇的。虽然有时间限制,但你可以免费停放4个小时。
