Access to the beach is easy with multiple carparks close to the sand. There are shady spots under the trees and a pontoon to swim to not far from the shore. Good family beach.
There is also a nice waterfall walk which is short but steep in places on a formed track.

Beautiful park with a range of bushwalks and beaches.
Good shade under the trees close to the sand.
For kiwi spotting, enter the park just before closing, take a red light torch and quietly explore the ecology trail. We have seen kiwis there on multiple occasions.

Good fun for kids and adult ninja's!
Stunning coastal walk in and out of the village. Head south from the cemetery towards Matheson's Bay. The clifftop walk passes homes, through a small amount of bush and close to a little stony beach where seals sometimes hang out. There are a few stairs with one steep set. Approx 2.6 k's return and takes around 50mins.
