The beach is absolutely stunning. It's a great place to bring your dogs. The atmosphere is usually fantastic and safe, although it can get crowded on Public Holidays, especially on New Year's Day, so it's better to avoid it then.

The beach is not too crowded, with bins conveniently placed in almost every corner to ensure the sand stays clean. The water is incredibly beautiful and soothing, and surprisingly clear without being filled with sand.

It feels safe to walk and jog along the beach. I walked all the way from Summerstrand village to Humewood without any worries, haha. By the way, I'm a male and I prefer walking with a friend for added security. But overall, the beach appears to be quite safe.

The beach is absolutely stunning, offering numerous swimming spots and a variety of nearby restaurants that can easily be reached on foot. It's a great beach for families with children and also a perfect place to bring your dogs. The beauty of this beach can be enjoyed at any time of the day, but it's important to be cautious during quieter periods for your own safety. Unfortunately, since the lifting of the lockdown, there has been an issue with littering. Some individuals are displaying a lack of respect by discarding their wine foil bags and plastic takeaway containers on the sand and in the sea. Additionally, there have been instances of glass bottles being broken on both the rocks and sand. It is kindly requested that visitors clean up after themselves and show respect for the environment. This is not only for the benefit of everyone's safety but also to maintain the health of the beach and its wildlife.
