Mosquito Beach is a beach on South Head Road in South Head, Rodney, with a Google rating of 4.0 from 115 reviews. Reviewers mention the long gravel road in, the walk down to the sand, and the need to check the tide.
A remote beach like this is best reached in a vehicle with good ground clearance, since the final stretch can be rough and slow. Walks to the sand may include steps or a short hike, so sturdy shoes help. The tide changes how much beach is open, so check it before you plan a swim or a long walk. Many visitors bring water and food, since facilities can be few on a quiet day.
For a quiet, rugged day out near South Head, it is worth checking the road and the tide before you set out.
