🛶 ☕️ ☀️ 🌊 🚲 There is everything to love and nothing to dislike about Christies Beach. We enjoy our beach walks, coffees, kayaking, biking, exploring and watching the tides roll in and out during all seasons. Lovely places nearby to get coffee and nibbles as well. We especially love Good Karma Coffee Bar for coffees and treats! They are the best! Wed-Sunday is when Christies is hoppin’ at the esplanade ☕️ ☀️ 🌊 🚲 🛶

Great beach but..I think it's in need of a clean up. It's not as clean and tidy as it once was. Perhaps a bulldozer running up and down for a day might help it look better.
