Great play ground, beautiful beach, easy parking
Clean tidy park. Was attacked by a swarm seagulls stole chips from the toddlers hand. Saw the gang of them attacking another family. would give zero stars.
Nice big park with the surf beach next to it. Open beach area with no shade.

Know before you go

  • Be cautious of seagulls that may be aggressive towards food; consider securing your belongings
  • Visit on days with less wind to fully enjoy the sweep of beach from Ford Park to Pambula River mouth
  • Consider bringing your own food as there might not be many options available at nearby markets on Sundays

On the right day, that is not too much wind, this is a perfect sweep of beach all the way round to the mouth of the Pambula River. Play and picnic in the park, but you have to walk the beach to feel the energy of the place.
