The beach is very windy and there are a lot of Portuguese man o' war jellyfish, so it's not safe for swimming.

This is a view of Breaker Bay from the walkway that stretches from the Attaturk memorial to Seatoun. The path is a bit hilly, but there are mostly well-positioned wooden steps.

Breaker Bay is aptly named for its frequent waves. The descent to the beach is steep, and there is no parking available nearby.
