What people say
The newly opened Shark Beach is smaller than the pics show and water is also deeper, which isn’t ideal for young children. On the other hand, there’s a large park behind the beach with beautiful trees. However, parking in is quite challenging.
Great beach, we love the vibe
Extremely relaxing. Quiet, not busy
Daniel at The Nelson is amazing! His customer service is sensational and should be studied in hospitality school!! Fantastic way to start your day with a service from Daniel. He is brilliant and was running the ship by himself. He did it flawlessly. I hope The Nelson look after him / sponser his visa or citizenship!!! He is a keeper. As for the beach…. It’s lovely but not a fan of all the concrete 😂😂😂 hope they paint it pretty colours soon!! #hint
Wow, one of the best beaches I have ever seen in NSW. A bar literally on the beach that allows you to have drink at its garden area which is part of the beach.
