    Absolutely gorgeous spot for a family picnic. Take your friendly dogs too. Only downside is no public toilet

    Good parking. Good little beach. Seating for a picnic. Great place to walk the dog. No public toilets is the only problem

  • 5/5 Brent T. 5 months ago on Google
    Tucked away from main stream. This hidden park is perfect for families and BBQ picnic. Bring your own BBQ. Everyone welcome and awesome fishing too.

  • 4/5 Bianca E. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely views, was pretty windy when we were there but a lovely picnic spot for father's day none the less. No toilets

  • 4/5 Larissa M. 9 months ago on Google
    Great park that is well maintained, super quiet and not many people know about. Only downside is no toilet block but good spot for a little picnic

  • 5/5 Leeshonaire Lesa (. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Samantha D. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful little park right on the water. Pet friendly and quiet and away from the usual huddle and bussle of the gild coast.

  • 5/5 Jo K. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite area for a family day out although there is no playground for kids to play but water to swim in and sand to build sand castles, or flick a line and catch a meal. No toilets, Dog friendly. Parking available. Not much shade so bring a beach umbrella. Fresh water shower to wash off the sand and bins are available.

  • 5/5 Marcus P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good chill spot, nice swell with few crowds. Couple of rich people running around who can't drive. 5 stars.

  • 4/5 Andrew X T. 1 year ago on Google
    i think there are nicer places to have a swim, which is why i gave only 4 stars. But otherwise, what everyone else says about it not being crowded and a nice low key friendly place to look out at the broadwater is true.

  • 5/5 Mathew R. 1 year ago on Google
    A bit hidden away and safe for swimming in most conditions. Close to runaway Bay Shopping Centre

  • 5/5 Gary C. 1 year ago on Google
    I don’t really want to recommend this little beach As the secret will be out! A great place to go when everywhere else is packed out. Not many facilities but if you take your own gear you can almost always get a nice shady spot right by the water.

  • 4/5 G C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice spot, usually a beautiful breeze coming off the water., seems well maintained, there's only a few picnic tables and they're mostly in the sun unfortunatelyπŸ˜”. So early mornings, late afternoons are probably best (sun-smart) times to use them. Or alternatively a picnic blanket, few chairs to chase the shade, lol. Also a lovely walk along the waterfront down on the sand.

  • 4/5 Karl K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park, great access to the water, plenty of carparks, would be bettee if there were restrooms.

  • 5/5 Marsitta S. 6 years ago on Google
    Great little beach front for kitesurfing, swimming , fishing dogs allowed must be on leash at all times.

  • 5/5 Alysha H. 3 years ago on Google
    Just would have liked some covered picnic tables.

  • 5/5 Jamie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to take littles for a swim. Lots of shallow water, calm waves, not to busy and plenty of space for multiple families to enjoy without sitting on top of eachother

  • 5/5 Debra B. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful relaxing place with fantastic views one down fall no public toilets

  • 5/5 Kristen J. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely spot to sit down for a picnic, either you'll have absolutely nobody else there, or you can watch the kitesurfers, it's a win/win really.

  • 5/5 Koala Park L. 1 year ago on Google
    Quiet even on a Saturday. Lots of kitesurfers. Nice shells too. Relaxing walk. Picnic tables too.

  • 5/5 Anvi C. 2 years ago on Google
    Less people, feel peace πŸ˜†

  • 5/5 Karel K. 2 years ago on Google
