It's a little secluded, and endless sand dune, very calm , and safe with small toddlers. There are no facilities like changing rooms or toilet. One little Cafe, good to get a drink or an ice block but not very progressive.

Been coming here since we were kids. Love the atmosphere. Ther waters are so shallow and calm, safe for the kids. Needs more parking spaces though.

A great spot for a beach walk. You can catch yabbies and go fishing right on the beach. Dnt forget your sunscreen

Too many threats of fines. I'm surprised that "no fun" wasn't on the list. Pretty much everything else is listed. I get that it's a nature reserve but sooo many "in your face" threats don't make it very welcoming. The council should be ashamed.
