Fountainstown Beach

Great location. Very friendly locals. The main beach is a pebble beach but you can walk down to either side of the main beach and go swimming off the rocks. Free public car park. Free public toilets.

This place is a real piece of wild at the tip of your toe if you don't drive. You can also do the walk to join Myrtleville. If you like quietness like me, I recommande you to avoid sunny weekends during summer hollidays it s busier. They have a small market once a week as well but I...

Meh.There are much nicer beaches to access though this one is probably suitable for those with small children as they can't get too far.

An elderly woman was stuck in the portable toilet for half an hour because there is a confusing double locking system on the inside of the door. The crowd waiting to use this single toilet was able to talk her through the process to release the double lock, after having to get the help of the lifeguard. Apparently this is a frequent problem. Make sure children don't lock the door if they enter alone! There should probably be more toilets given the number of families visiting this...
