What people say
LOVED this location. Beautiful water, beautiful view. LOVE that dogs are allowed but only on a leash, it meant I could take my anxious dog down there without worrying random dogs would rush up to her as she enjoyed the water. The accommodation on the water was lovely to see also, will definitely be looking to rent one of those places in the future! They've got parking, bbq area, picnic tables, heaps of shadey trees only metres from the water. Thoroughly enjoy this spot.
Fantastic place to bring the family with small children to paddle in the water in spring to summer and watch the sunsets especially in Autumn. Has some BBQ facilities and seating and is a lovely walk in the evenings along the beach.
Clean tidy area great for picnics and family outings $m views across the bay
Even though it is a small park, it was still well equipped, and the kids loved the beech. Amenities block clean and presentable.great sizes undercover seating for a decent size group
