👍👍 Hands down my favourite beach / swimming spot in Queensland. The tidal waters make for various fun aspects to this location.

👍 I absolutely loved this little swimming hole. Great place to cool off , just make sure kids know how to swim or have safety gear on. Plus of course adult supervision. Bit slippery on the rocks with moss underneath so be careful.

During summer and school holidays the lake can get crowded, but it is still toma of fun. The lake is an excellent place to have a swim, paddle-board, kayak and more. At night it’s a...
