Langs Beach
Beautiful white sand surf beach.
This is a beautiful wild surf beach.
Find the path on the right of the main car park and you will find Picnic Bay, a lovely white sand beach that is lovely to swim in as it has no waves and gets deep quite quickly.

If your vehicle is okay on a gravel road this is a must visit.
On one side you have an untouched white sand surf beach, a 2 minute walk over the hill gets you to a wild rocky, shelly beach that reminds me of the west coast and in between is a shell filled mermaid pool!

This is more than a normal playground. This area is cared for and has been created by volunteers in the community.
There is a tennis court, two pump tracks, a large skateboard park, sand, swings, playground equipment under lots of shade sails, a pirate ship and a flying fox. There is also a large outdoor gym/exercise equipment.

Saturday Morning done right.
We go early and get coffee and breakfast, listen to the live music and enjoy the view across the harbour. Sometimes we are still there in the sun at lunchtime with a beer!
Lots of stalls, local craft, produce, clothing, art and delicious food trucks.
