1 David Jones

It's not a nice beach at all, overcrowded and quite unpleasant to walk on

Maidencombe beach
10 Ethan Radovinovic

This splendid little beach is a true gem, complete with a delightful cafe that offers the perfect spot to bask in the sunshine with a steaming cup of coffee and a delectable pastry. The lively atmosphere is enhanced by the playful swimmers and their furry companions frolicking in the refreshing waters. It's truly a fabulous experience!

The beach was absolutely splendid! During my stay at the Haven, I had the pleasure of strolling along the beach several times, taking in the breathtaking views and fresh sea air. It was evident that many people shared my admiration for this beach, as I noticed several visitors with their furry companions enjoying the sand and waves. The coastal path provided a delightful walk back, completing a perfect day at the beach.

Exmouth Beach
10 Barrett Jensen

This beach is perfect for spending time with friends and family of all ages. It offers a spacious and even promenade that is ideal for biking, using wheelchairs, or simply taking a leisurely stroll. The sunrises and sunsets here are absolutely stunning. Additionally, there are specific areas designated for swimming, ensuring safety, especially when the tide is either rising or falling and the estuary's current is particularly strong.

Green fields beach
10 Perry Stone

This beach is really lovely and it's quite easy to get to. Just make sure to pay attention to any warnings, especially when the tide changes because it can flow quite fast due to being at an estuary. On the day we visited, the weather was cool but sunny, so it wasn't crowded. The beach was clean and had high-quality sand, perfect for the children to play on.
