Parks & Nature
Doyles Road
Doyles RoadGreat river inlet beach, a magic spot for sunset or a walk when the beach is too windy
Our closest beach. Beautiful early in the morning for long walks and magic sunsets.
Please note this NOT a patrolled beach and the rips can be dangerous. It can also be totally safe and excellent for boogie boarding so check with other people if you are not sure or just go to beach 1 if you are swimming.

There is a playground here and jetty/ boat launch as well as a beautiful bird hide. The mangroves here are the southern most mangroves on Mainland Australia and the bird life is incredible. Good for roo watching too.
