A very lovely beach for a nice relaxation :) what you will find is that the water is super clear (on a sunny day), with gentle waves. This beach is also suited to families with young children (no lifeguard, however common sense applies). There is ample parking (free parking) which connects to the parkland and the beach on the other side. Be mindful of the evening as most carparks closet to the beach are mostly full ,(plan ahead). There is also a cafe /restaurant on the beach which Is great if you are feeling peckish. The main entry point features a concrete ramp (large enough for beach trolley or prams / wheelchairs) along with 2 open air showers on the side. There is also a playground area for young children near the main entry. There is plenty of space around considering the size of the beach, however be mindful of the tide, it will come in quick in the afternoon. If the wind annoys you feel free to head to the rocks located on the right side of the beach (use as a shelter) No dogs allowed unfortunately, Ohh and if you have a beach trolley, plan to move ahead before the tide gets in, it's all helps with the moving of stuff much easier! (Found out the hard way lol). Will recommend this beach to visit.

I love this beach. With the white sands and quite atmosphere there, you'll really enjoy taking a breake from your busy life. There is a cafe where a variety of food options there. There is also s playground in next to the cafe for your kids to enjoy their time too. Don't worry about the carpark because there are plenty of parking spaces nearby, so you won't have a trouble there.

Beautiful and peaceful beach. During the weekend was very busy but i visited on Monday to have a walk..so quiet so peaceful like heaven I loved it and will go with my swimming suit next😮😍👍🏻 It is perfect place to chillax and go with baby or toddler because of shallow water and no swell 💕🏖🏖 (Oh! I took a bus(L94/bus standB)from Hyde park. It takes 40min from there.)

The sun dips below the horizon, casting an orange glow across the water. Gentle waves lap at the shore, whispering secrets to the sand. The salty air carries the scent of sunscreen and the promise of adventure. Laughter echoes from families building sandcastles and couples strolling hand-in-hand. It's moments like these that make memories to cherish
