Rock Pool

There is also a rock pool to enjoy, where you can swim without worrying about the currents. Located at the southern end of the beach, it also has great views of the beach and surrounds.

Beach Safety

At times, there are rips (strong currents) that run along the beach, so it is important for swimmers to follow instructions from the life savers and swim between the flags. If the beach has unusually dangerous swimming conditions, they will close the beach.

Rips are formed when the waves pushes water against the beach. This water will go back out in the most direct route with the least resistance thus forming a strong current that tends to take anything or anyone in its waters with it.
