Washaway beach is a little secluded hideaway just off the Spit to Manly walking track on the eastern side of Grotto Point. As the name implies during high waves the thin veneer of sand is literally "washed away", exposing massive slabs of sandstone, which at best patches of sand are visible at low tide.
The sand returns slowly during calmer conditions. When fully present the beach is up to 200 m long and faces due east toward Sydney Harbour entrance.
Due to its isolation, the beach is used by nudists. It is on the northern side of The Spit, opposite Cobblers Beach.
