McLoughlins Beach
Reeves Beach
Woodside Beach
We have had steady misty rain for most
of the day. It's probably not enough to put out large bush fires but it
has certainly cooled everything down.
We took it easy again this morning,
staying at the caravan park, after lunch we continued our tour of the
coastline. First stop was McLoughlins Beach which didn't really boast
much of a beach just mud flats around the jetty and boat ramp. Access
to the water was on Shallow Inlet looking out toward St. Margaret
Island. Like other small villages in the area it boast small shacks
and houses. There is no caravan park and no shop there. You probably
would not go there at all unless you were a fisherman with a boat.
Reeves Beach has free camping and a pit
toilet. There were a few vans there and some camps looked as if they
had been there for months, we did not get out of the car and would be
very reluctant to stay there. Access to the surf beach was through
the bush and up over the dunes.
Next stop was Woodside Surf Beach.
There is a well maintained caravan park there with a kiosk attached.
The surf lifesaving club has a club house, lookout and they actively
patrol the beach during the summer holidays. There is a great kids
playground, plenty of parking and public toilets.
We did briefly try to walk on the
beach, however it was raining, blowing a gale and Pip was afraid so
we beat a hasty retreat and headed home.
