Did you know Horsehoe Bay Beach was named second best beach in Australia in February 2022? The Bay is a great place for kids to swim and is generally patrolled during peak times over summer. The Beachside Markets are located within the reserve area at picturesque Horseshoe Bay. The markets are on the second Saturday of each month and well worth a look around.

Great place for a swim with the family. Best to catch it on an incoming tide, if you feel game join the locals jumping off the bridge. Awesome spot for the little ones or to escape the North Easterly wind that sometimes pop up.
