Beaches, rivers and estuaries

Our region has spectacular beaches that can be enjoyed all year round.

Check each beach for current patrol information.

Following heavy rainfall, it is important to consider whether it is safe to swim. Visit our water quality webpage for more information.

A reminder on water safety and beach safety: no matter your swimming skills, no flags means no swimming.
