What people say
One of the best beaches on the South Coast. Very good access and the beach itself is immaculately clean. The icing on the cake is that it is a dog friendly beach, with many locals making it their go-to walking beach. I have to give a shout out to Jono, a local council ranger; he was very helpful and provided us with a great insight into the council’s efforts to preserve the flora and fauna in the area.
Nice relaxing beach, not overcrowded and easy to access from accommodation, great for the family and kids
Nice beach, great for sunrise/sunset walks. Accessible from Tasman holiday park.
