    What a magical place to visit - we went on a super windy day during the school holidays and no one was around so I was able to capture these surreal moments. Definitely worth a visit if you’re near by

    Interesting wildlife and peaceful. β€” Update September β€˜18: The path has been rebuilt and the nature trail better than ever. Lots of lizards, snakes, birds, rabbits, foxes and great views. β€” Update November 2021 Great for wildlife walks with family and kids. Police are now patrolling area to keep safe. β€” December 21 Nice for a walk in these unseasonably cooler summer temperatures!

    Great little area. Wasn't busy at all compared to the beach down the road.

    Really nice trail near the ocean front. Packed with wildlife and fauna and various routes to take along with plenty of signs and information about the history of the dunes. The look out point was a great spot for photos and to relax, will definitely come here again when it warms up and I'm keen to see how the fauna looks in spring time.

    Lovely beach and a beautiful place to appreciate color contrasts between sky sand water and plant color ranging from red yellow to many shades of greens. They have rubbish bins on the beach too. Very cool

    Packed soft aggregate paths through dunes with remnant native vegetation. There is a lookout at this position with views to the beach, the historic Estcourt house to the north and the hills behind. This is a great sunset spot. Parking is from Military Road.

    Beautiful quiet long stretch of beach. No shade but lots of dunes to play around. To access this beach you can park in the dunes area or you will need to go in the streets with houses and park around the street. There is no concrete path , the path is like rocky sandy ground. Walk from there to Grange beach or go the other way to Semaphore...

    Great place to take my Dog for a walk Beautiful place. Great beach for a swim. It's a fair walk through the Dunes to get to the beach but worth the walk great place to spend time.

    Great place to enjoy beaches and water can be clear as . Also the walks along the paths along the beach areas is nice . Just keep eye out for snakes with dogs along the paths , just in case they're out in warmer weather. Also check out the sunset as they can be great if you love to take pics too ! 😊

    Love this walk, have been making it into a weekly trip just to see the change of season and the blooms opening up now that we are going into spring.

  • 5/5 Cindy 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful reserve... peaceful... access with bike is possible as long as you ride very carefully to not harm the plants and and the lizards.

  • 5/5 frank l. 2 years ago on Google
    This beach is in a secluded place and not a commercial place, perhaps therefore we found few people over there. There was a warning sign prohibiting walking on the fragile sand dunes and one for snakes too, though we didn't encounter any.

  • 5/5 Willy J. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing walking trail with the beach next to it. Awesome place to take kids to appreciate nature

  • 5/5 Karthika N. 6 years ago on Google
    Calm and serene beach, perfect for meditation or a quick dip in the shallow waters. Stunning views all around❀

  • 2/5 Malcom D. 6 years ago on Google
    I used to love this spot, unfortunately there are a lot people who use this area after hours and leave some pretty foul stuff throughout the dunes. We did a community clean up a week back and found everything from used condoms to needles throughout the dunes and on the beach. Definitely suggest closed footwear anywhere near here!
