Island View Reserve
4.0/5
Good carpark with plenty of room for long vehicles.
A dump site, clean toilets. Can't see the water from parking area but it's only 1 or min walk to the beach. As previous review mentions close to road but its pretty quiet at night.

Its a carpark right?
Stunning views, well protected with locked gate at night, next to public Park. Great spot for Snapper and Gurnard fishing (season dependant) off the wharf or Kontiki. Great swimming spot for kids with gentle sloping mostly sandy although a bit shelly (lol get it as in shelly beach) beach. Awesome cafe with mega sized chicken, bacon, Avo, salad, afternoon snack and dinner. Really accessible boat ramp, easy af launch on a nice day. Great fishing advice from young local bloke in the cafe. Fill ya boots.
