This is a stunning location and a beautiful beach that can be accessed from several locations there is a nice hidden track on the bend of lakeside drive and tudibaring parade . You can pick to swim in the river or sea from this access point . Note there is very limited parking in this location as it’s a public street .

[MacMasters Beach] is a quiet and picturesque spot known for its natural beauty and family-friendly vibe. A standout feature is the [ocean baths] at the southern end, offering a safe and relaxing place for swimmers of all ages. These rock pools are perfect for a leisurely dip and provide great photo opportunities, especially when the water is calm and mirror-like. The ever-changing face of the beach is something to marvel at, with shifting sands sometimes exposing rocks in the middle of the beach, adding unique photographic interest.
