Only an 8-10 minute walk away to this 1 km long beach. Great for walking and safe for swimming ( swim between the lifesaving flags in the summer). This is not a surf beach. There's a toilet block at the southern end of the beach as well as up near the playground towards the north end of the beach. Remember to take sunblock and apply 30 minutes before entering the water and re-apply after wards

Essentials
Only a 5 minute walk away on the corner of Jutland and Lake Road. Remember to take a shopping bag, or borrow one from me if you need to, as they don't provide single use plastic bags anymore. While not a full sized supermarket, it has most every day things available, including bakery, meats, fruit and vegetables, liquor, frozen and fresh produce. Best thing is it's open from 7 am to 10 pm every day.
