Stopped at Stingray Bay for a swim on the way back from the cove. Instead of swimming, I just waded around the shallows watching the beautiful Stingrays gliding around. Was a real treat, saw alot of people just turning up and taking a couple of photos then leave. Get in the water and see the rays!

Hidden Gem, if walking to the cove make sure to drop in. Only an extra couple of minutes. Gemstone bay is also fantastic

A beautiful little bay but a steep climb be warned. However well constructed steps and worth the oxygen.

Every beach is beautiful and swimmable on the Cathedral cove walk. Take walking shoes, swimming gear. There is a toilet at Cathedral cove. The walk is easy, but some steep steps down to the beach.

If things are crowded at Cathedral cove (as they were the day I went), I went back to Stingray bay for a swim. Only a couple people there, but very nice and enjoyable without all the screaming and noisy people.
