This is a beautiful little walk, it is dog friendly and has that remote vibe of Patonga, highly recommend lunch or dinner at the pub there too. The waves at the beach here are really gentle so its good for younger kids. This is flat and good for beginners.

Patonga Beach is dog friendly and is an off leash area.
