Long Beach
A white sand beach stretching about 17 km north of Robe. Its calm, shallow water suits families, and some sections allow 4WD vehicles onto the sand.
Long Beach runs north for about 17 km from Robe along the eastern shore of Guichen Bay. It is one of the few continuous white sand beaches on this limestone coast. The southern section near town has small waves and shallow water, ideal for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and playing with children. The northern section has surf breaks, and locals also walk dogs, ride horses, and fish there. Some stretches allow 4WD vehicles onto the sand, but watch the tides and soft sand. Do not attempt it without a 4WD. Several parking entrances and picnic areas line the beach, and in summer you should swim between the flags in areas patrolled by lifeguards. In 1857, the Dutch ship Koning Willem II was wrecked off this beach, and the wreck lies on the seabed not far offshore. The sunset over the bay is lovely in the evening.
