Nothing better! Always spectacular, always different. Finishing the walk without a gelato from Oceanic Gelati and Coffee Bar is almost criminal

A 2 minute walk up the street for stunning views, and an amazing place to watch the sun and moon rise. We either start or finish most days with a walk down the stairs to Frenchman’s, around the headland to Deadman’s then over to Cylinder. Afternoon walks usually timed to watch the sunset over Cylinder. Magic! Popular with rock fisherman too

Patrolled beach. At the moment there is a long, deep gutter that is great for swimming in, especially with younger children

Beautiful spot for freshwater swimming, canoeing or SUP. The brown colour comes from the tannins from the tea trees that surround the lake. First two picnic areas accessible to all vehicles. Other sites further around the lake can be accessed by 4WD only

Known as Karboora (meaning deep, silent pool) the lake is culturally significant to the Quandamooka people and request you don't swim in the lake to respect that significance. Take drinking water, especially in hotter times of the year.
