Mcleans Beach — Attraction in Deniliquin

It's a beautiful little sandy beach located about 2 km from Deniliquin city centre on Edward river NSW. I have visited this beach few times and my recent visit to this beach was on 27/28 December 2022.

This beach is renowned for camping, boating, jet-skiing, fishing etc. It can also be very busy during holiday seasons and long weekends.

Side note/little advice: do not take your vehicles right to the edge of this beach even if the surface appears dry and hard (some areas are muddy, others are sandy). It can be very deceptive.

We walked to Mcleans beach along the Edward river from Willoughby Beach where we were camping and it was a really nice walk filled with info signs and history.

A nice little place next the river. Plenty of space for the kids to play. BBQ facilities next to the river. Toilets available on site. Plenty of parking. A lot of bird life there too. Good...
