There is currently some construction happening at the main entrance, but overall, the beach is fantastic. There is a cafe at the surf club that is open on certain days. The beach is incredibly long, about 10km round trip, with strong tides.

This beach is stunning and can get quite crowded during peak times due to its large camping area, Bowls Club, and Surf Club. The long stretch of beach offers relatively safe swimming when the tide is coming in, with shallow wading water near the Surf Club side. The view of the mountains from the water is breathtaking, and there is also a great hillside view from the top of the beach.

The beach is lovely! The water looks so inviting! The parking lot is always busy, but it's a great spot to relax for a few hours.

The beach is stunning, with a surf rescue club open on Sundays and lifeguards on duty during the warmer months. Upstairs in the club, there is a small bar and cafe. Recently, there was a spectacular exhibition of sculptures created by high school students. It's a picture-perfect beach.
