About this place

Soft sand, clean water, and patrolled flags through summer. There's a kiosk for coffee, decent toilets and outdoor showers. Surf is gentle on the south end, picks up nicely at the point. Sunset here is genuinely cinematic — bring a blanket.

Better than the photos suggest

We went on a Saturday morning and stayed three hours longer than planned. Staff were lovely, the views are everything you've heard about, and the photos honestly don't do it justice. Will absolutely be bringing the rest of the family next time.

An Aussie classic for a reason

Born and raised in Melbourne and somehow only just visited. Worth the trip from anywhere in the country — pace yourself and don't try to do too much in one day.

Brought the kids — they loved it

The girls (6 and 9) had a brilliant time. Packed lunch, plenty of water, sunscreen — that's all you need. Knock half a star off for the drop toilets being a bit grim by mid-afternoon.
