Sydney Airport. Dolls Point is at the South Western corner of Botany Bay. Situated on the mouth of the Georges river. Turn left onto Malua St from the grand parade and then hang another left at Skinners Ave and follow the dogs leg to the beach front. Carpark is closed on a Sunday and Parking Police are very vigilent at such times!

 Rules, Restrictions and Extra Info
Rules:
No Information


Having stated that this spot is suitable for beginners, during summer Dolls can get VERY crowded. Please make sure you are aware of right of way rules and remain alert and keep a safe distance from other kiters. It is MANDATORY that all kiters at Dolls Point wear a kite safety leash! This is not an option! Waterways will be notified of any kiter refusing to wear a kite leash. Kites that are not leashed have the potential to end up on the runway so understand that if you don't wear a leash we will be on you like white on rice!

Edit
 Nightlife
Plenty of bars around Brighton, or you can head to Cronulla, Northies is a great pub, or for a sleazy club either ConFusion or Carmens.

06-06-02 Steve McCormack: Kitepower shop is nearby, check in with the locals if you are still a begginer, locals are friendly and willing to help. There have been accidents at this spot, if there are more this spot could be banned. Do not learn to fly your kite here, beach is tiny it is not cool, get in the water, and get away from the beach asap!
05-02-25 Near Death and Disappointment: Way too crowded at weekends and too many dogs/kids etc. Is a great spot on a cloudy day when less busy. Also try the northern parts of Brighton le Sands.
