  • Garrettstown is a popular sandy beach. Despite this it still retains a rural feel and has not been over developed.

    It’s a great family beach with all the facilities including a seasonal lifeguard service. With a ramp down to the beach Garrettstown is also accessible.

    This is one of the most popular surfing beaches in the area and is home to a surf school.
