I have traveled extensively and this stretch of beach beats plenty others I have seen, including Santa Monica, Hoi An, and others. If you are escaping the colder climates of Australia and beyond, this beach will be all you need to feel fantastic. Beautiful clean sand, gorgeous rolling surf, superb sunrises and moonrises, all patrolled by Australia’s famous surf life savers. Ideal for romantic strolls along the beach. Don’t forget to swim between the red and yellow flags, and bring your sunscreen and hat. Who says there is nothing to do? Just enjoy the world class beach and stunning vistas.

Just past Macintosh Island park is a wildlife sanctuary. Great if you like wildlife, great if you like picnics and generally great to visit for any reason.

We visited this park on a Saturday. We were surprised to find it almost deserted. Plenty of parking spots and easy access. Park has plenty of seats, tables BBQs and toilets Its located adjacent to main beach and has a link bridge for pedestrians Kids were jumping off the bridge into the canal, which looked like fun There are two kids play grounds, one has an island with a sleeping giant! There are a few creeks and s waterfall We found a shady spot and had a picnic There are a few resident peacocks ????! The canal can be accessed by a small beach but there are vessels using the canal so watch out. We’ll be back again as this was a peaceful and convenient location
