Lovely regional park with excellent facilities including BBQs and a playground. The long sandy beach is great for swimming and family fun. Plenty of space for picnics and scenic walks along the coast.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

The calm, shallow beach makes Long Bay one of the more relaxed swimming spots for young children. BBQs, a playground, changing facilities, and a coastal walk all in one place β€” genuinely set up for a full day rather than a quick stop.

β€œIt’s a healing beach with a large grassy area for many children. It’s perfect for bringing young kids to swim, as the waves are not very strong.”

β€œWhat a beautiful beach for swimming & walking.Also the walk over to Granny Bay. We stayed a night with our caravan in designated area & paid for it. Pity can't say the same of some. Impressed at cleanliness of toilets shame some morons left their bag of rubbish in the changing room & fish & chips papers. Also late night(12.15am) revellers spoilt it.”
