Welcome

Westbrook Bay, a designated water ski area, perfect for people who love their water sports. It is a great family beach with a sandy bay, where a small section of sand remains exposed at high tide.

There is an adventure golf course 'Strokes' along the promenade, with tennis and bowls close by. There is a cafe on  the promenade to keep you in constant supply of ice cream. The nearest car park is located along the promenade of Westbrook, Barns car park.
