    You have to arrive early because places are limited.

    Very good location in town and on the beach. The toilets are a 1-minute walk away, right next to the cafe. For showers, there are either the ones on the beach, but they are cold. Or there is the municipal swimming pool 2 minutes away at $4 per shower.

    Great spot!

    It gets quite busy so get there early but it's so nice there. The beach is cool with awesome sunsets. There are 2 cold showers and you can pay 4$ at the Kiwa Pools for a hot one. There is also a cafe which serves great food and drinks. Town centre is a 30min walk which isn't too bad and there is also a bar (smash palace) at 5 minutes walk distance if you want to go out!

    Really great spot right by the beach- fills up early & we did see someone issuing fines / warnings in the morning so make sure you park in the blue bays.

    Toilets a short walk, but they do shut at 9pm!

    Good spot just behind the dunes.

    Big spaces to park your vehicle and cold beach showers within 2 mins walking distance. City Centre is 25/30 min walk

    Gorgeous spot.

    Surf club played reggae music until around 9:30 which didn't bother us but might to others. Car park gets busy during late afternoon/evening.

    Decent spot, right on the beach and really close to town.

    Considering it’s close to a road it was very quiet over night. Enough spaces for 10 vehicles. The only issue is that the public toilet is about a 5 minute walk away. Bit of a nightmare when (like it was for me) it’s heavy rain all day and night.

    Problem is the parks only fit standard car not a 6 berth caravan.

    The council came knocking in the morning for V passes, and let us know you have to park in blue lines doesn’t matter what size your vehicle is. Great spot. Beautiful
