You'll find a well-maintained promenade running along the beachfront, great for a leisurely stroll, and plenty of picnic areas. There are also facilities for barbecues and playgrounds for children.

Families will find Tannum Sands ideal for a relaxed day out. The gentle waves make it suitable for younger children to paddle and play in the sand. There are also surf lifesaving patrols during peak times, adding an extra layer of comfort for parents. You can also try stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking in the calmer sections of the water.

Couples looking for a peaceful day by the sea will appreciate the tranquil environment of Wild Cattle Island National Park, accessible via Boyne Island. This unspoilt island offers secluded beaches great for long walks, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings away from the crowds.
