Kings Beach
A long Blue Flag beach near the harbour, with lifeguards, a children's playground and a seafront promenade, ideal for family paddling.
Kings Beach takes its name from the visit of the British royal family in 1947. It is a golden sandy beach about 1.6 km long, with gentle currents and lifeguard supervision, and it holds Blue Flag certification, making it suitable for swimming and beginner surfing. Behind the sand you will find lawns, a children's playground, mini golf and fast-food outlets. It sits next to Humewood Beach and the Bayworld museum, and you can walk along the seafront promenade to Hobie Beach. Weekend mornings often feature handicraft markets.
