The beach is stunning, peaceful, and perfect for children. While there are no lifeguards on duty, the area is well-protected.

This beach is small and beautiful, with a few coves. You can surf here when the conditions are right. It's important to note that the beach is not patrolled, so if you're not a strong swimmer, it's best to swim at Coolum's patrolled beach. There is ample parking nearby and a restroom a short walk away at Point Perry. If you want to get an all-over tan, head south to third bay for some full body sunbathing. Remember to swim safely and have fun in the sun.
