Fingal Bay Beach

Info type: Attraction, Fingal Bay, New South Wales, Australia

A near-perfect C-curve of sand that faces southeast, Fingal Bay Beach has its own island connected by a sand-spit and is well protected from all but a hefty southeast wind. The aptly-named Kiddies Corner at the south end is completely sheltered and it draws mums and dads with nippers in tow. The spit at the north end which links Fingal Island to the mainland gets decent waves when the sand builds up.

The island's key feature is an imposing lighthouse and there are some stylish cafes a short walk from the water's edge. Accommodation nearby ranges from backpackers and camping/caravan sites to the five-star Shoal Bay Resort which has luxury villas, apartments and a spa treatment centre.
