The beach is great. You can enjoy watching the ocean. I haven't walked all the way to South Beach and back yet, but I plan to.

It brings back memories of when I lived in GC. The beach is pristine, with fine sand and plenty of amenities. There are numerous cafes and restaurants close by, and you can even rent electric scooters. It's an ideal spot for a vacation! I will definitely return in the future.

This beach in the Illawarra is considered one of the top beaches around. There is convenient parking nearby, plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from, and lifeguards are on duty year-round. The waves are impressive and the views of the coastline are stunning. It can get crowded on weekends in the summer, but that's to be expected considering it's one of the best beaches in the area.
