Accessible Beach In Arcadia DriveShoalwater Beach

Shoalwater Beach is a curving, west-facing, 1.5 km long low energy beach located between Mersey Point and a central sandy foreland. A shallow sands spit extends 1 km west from the tip of the foreland to Shag Rock and Seal Island.

The low waves produce a relatively narrow steep beach, with seagrass meadows just off the shoreline, and the beach covered by seagrass debris following storms. The beach is backed by the 100-200 m wide Shoalwater Foreshore Reserve, with parking towards the southern end, then a road and houses of Shoalwater.

There is a permanent ramp leading to seasonal beach matting. There are accessible public toilets, showers & drink fountains with lead up pathways. There is a cycle path, accessible bbqs & accessible playground. There is a car park available with 2 ACROD bays & 1 drop-off bay.
