Long Reef is one of the most geologically significant headlands on Sydney’s coastline, with exposed rock formations dating back more than 240 million years. The reef and surrounding rock platform are part of an aquatic reserve known for fossils, iron-rich claystones, and broad intertidal platforms revealed at low tide. The area also holds long Aboriginal history connected to the Garigal and Gannagal people of the Eora Nation, with shell middens found on the headland.
