Our second beach is calmer than the Mount Main Beach, and family friendly. Enjoy a picnic on the grassy area in front of the beach, and get ice-creams or fish and chips at the Salisbury Wharf end of the Bay. Watch locals catch fish off the wharf and see the Pilot boats go out and escort the large ships into the Port. A great place to relax.
