Parks & Nature
Gunnamatta Ocean Beach
Patrolled ocean beach, safer for swimming.
UNPATROLLED Beach: On a clear day, this beach is stunning. Large sand area for throwing down a beach towel and chilling out. Or take a long jog on the sand. Limited phone reception for some enforced nature time, and not too crowded. Take care if swimming, no lifeguards.
