Absolutely amazing little beach with showers and toilets and a single BBQ with 2 tables and a bin. Plenty of parking. So good for swimming.

We walked to Chinamans Beach from the Murchison River area in Kalbarri since it was visible from the foreshore area. There were lots of people there and quite a few of them were casting lines from both sides of the beach. The beach itself had quite large waves. The sand was soft and fairly fine. It was nice walking along the beach instead of the footpath. The other end of the beach leads to Zuytdrop Memorial and the Back beach, which eventually leads to the Blue holes if you keep walking along it. It was a nice place to play in the water and enjoy the beach life.

Relaxing place with a lovely view. But please ask the council to change its racist name 😂 (along with the name of the street!) It is 2023, not 1923!
