Shelly Beach

Shelly Beach is a beautiful surf beach known for its excellent views and long stretches of sand. The beach is suitable for various activities, including surfing, with nice waves that are a particular highlight. However, visitors should be aware of blue bottle stingers that can be found at the high tide line. The beach is easily accessible with a car park located nearby, from which it is an easy walk to the flags. There is also a bike route for those who prefer to cycle. The beach is patrolled for safety, but it is not protected from southerly winds or North easterly, and there can sometimes be a pretty strong rip, especially for children. Amenities at Shelly Beach include a public shower, which is cold, and several resting places and viewpoints. There are also a few cafes in the vicinity, with one located a short walk down the road from the car park. During the months of August and September, the beach is a popular spot for whale watching.
