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 - 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.”
