All of our beaches and rivers offer nice places to walk along the shore, through the National Park and along the river. Some of the beaches have parking although this can be quiet congested during the busier months. Patience is required or you might be better off parking a little further away and catching one of the many busses that drop at the start of Hasting Street. We have showers, and telephones facilities and some of our beaches are even dog friendly. Please be pet responsible and make sure to bring along doggy bags and place in the bins provided. Swimming is not usually recommended in unsupervised areas. There are a number of cafes, restaurants and even shops in these areas overlooking the beach.
