Fairlight Beach
Highlights
Overview
Fairlight Beach is an 80 metre long, south-facing pocket of coarse sand, with a small rock pool occupying its eastern end. There are rocks to either end and some just offshore. The beach is backed by a narrow grassy foreshore reserve and coastal walk.
The beach is extremely popular with families as the rockpools are safe places for toddlers to paddle in, you can picnic on the surrounding grassy areas and the swimming pool is another safe swimming option. It is also a popular spot for snorkelers and divers as there are plenty of fish to be found in shallow waters off the beach or a bit further out where the beach suddenly drops off after some distance. It is also a good spot from which to launch your kayak or paddle-board.
There is limited street parking which will be in demand on sunny weekends with access via a pedestrian laneway off Fairlight Crescent (opposite Arlington Drive), or via another small pedestrian laneway between 9 and 11 Lauderdale Avenue, Fairlight.
