Great little playground next to one of the most beautiful quiet beaches of the North Shore 😍

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Reviewers whose children grew up here use words like lucky and loved. The sand factory, fresh water streams, and immediate beach access give children a layered outdoor experience rarely found in one reserve. The penguin sculpture is a small, memorable touch. Toilets and changing rooms on site make it a self-contained half-day outing.

⏰Bring swim gear and a towel — the beach and fresh water streams invite getting wet
