About Dolls Point

Dolls Point is a small, quiet residential suburb in southern Sydney, located 17 kilometres south of the CBD on the shores of Botany Bay. With a population of around 1,633 residents, it is one of Sydney's most intimate waterfront communities. The suburb falls within the Bayside Council area and is part of the historic St George region. Dolls Point has maintained an uncluttered, village-like atmosphere with predominantly low-density housing and scenic water views.

Residents of Dolls Point enjoy a relaxed bayside lifestyle with Cook Park running along the eastern border and a beach stretching to Sandringham Bay. The beach is renowned for its white sand and calm waters, making it ideal for families with young children, while kite surfing and fishing are popular activities. A small shopping village at the intersection of Clareville Avenue and Russell Avenue provides everyday essentials including cafes and the Sans Souci Library. The nearby Sans Souci and Rockdale areas offer additional retail and dining options.
