For families, staying along the Esplanade is ideal. They'll appreciate being so close to the main beach, which is generally protected and suitable for swimming. The Foreshore Reserve offers playgrounds and open spaces for children, and the proximity to amenities means everything needed for a day out at the beach is just steps away.


Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also find this area perfect. They can enjoy leisurely walks along the beach, perhaps catching a sunrise or sunset, and have easy access to waterfront dining options for romantic evenings.

The sand is soft, and the waves are generally gentle, making it ideal for swimming, building sandcastles, or simply relaxing under the sun.
