We had a fantastic day celebrating my granddaughter Halle's birthday party at the beach. It was a great time spent with Evie's family, friends, my daughter Kylie, son Luke, and all the kids.

There's so much fun to be had at this beach. Although the lake's water level is low and not ideal for swimming, it offers a wonderful opportunity to observe various bird species and aquatic creatures, including sting rays. On the other hand, the oceanfront beach is in excellent condition, with gentle waves that are perfect for swimming. Plus, there are lifeguards on duty during school breaks.

Miners Beach

Stunning serene beach with ample sand and lush rainforest backdrop. A 600-meter stroll from Shelley Beach. During the weekend, a handful of naturists were present, with a male to female ratio of approximately 2 to 1. On weekdays, the beach was deserted.
