Love this little Beach area and great for swimming, body boarding, and surfing.
Beautiful soft sand, often flat waters or gentle wanes, depending on weather.
As the name suggests, it is shaped like a horseshoe and feels protected because of it.
Great times spent here, and families love it.
To get onto the beach, there is a gentle hill to walk down, walking path follows the beach and then a few steps onto the sand.
There are toilets nearby and a 'kiosk' with typical fish, chips, burgers, sandwiches, and a good variety of flavoured ice cream, etc.
This is a happy spot for me when I visit SWR, and there are walking paths around for different views of the ocean, rocks to sit/lay on.
Free parking is on the top of the hill or in the new redone carpark (in front of the marine rescue building)
Not far from Horseshoe is a children's playground, so more for the kids.
This is a great spot for a day out, you won't regret it.
Unfortunately, it is harder for wheelchair access.
Would highly recommend this beach and close areas AND of course there are other cafes, gelato, Seabreeze Hotel, fashion shops and the caravan park nearby.
Love it. What more is there to say.
