Horseshoe Bay Beach
Park
👍👍 Love love love! Wish I could keep this spot to myself. Grab a picnic or fish and chips and take a dip. No waves so perfectly safe for the whole family. Toilets and changing rooms are spacious, clean and close to the beach. Fun to watch the locals climb up the big rocks for a splash. Would definitely...

What you get here is a dog-only entrance and...

It’s an easy walk to the lookout, the path is clear and there are well made steps. You can continue on to other areas, I don’t know what that trac...
