Great place for kids too. A small playground next to the camping site. A much bigger playground about 1.5km walk path.

Great spot to park up, freedom camping spots are clearly marked and are on a relatively flat surface in a car park right next to the beach, also next to a great playground for the kids, toilets and an
outdoor shower to rinse off the seawater. Would definitely recommend for those traveling with children, great spot.

Fantastic spot to camp, beautiful beach and friendly locals.
Clean toilet. Only criticism is council arbitrarily limiting to 5 extremely narrow allocated spaces, plenty of room for more and caused no issues.

We enjoyed our stay at Snells Beach - Sunburst Ave, Clean Toilets, outside shower, plenty of motorhome parking, concreted walk way and beautiful white sands only metres away.

Lovely spot, right next to the beach with clean toilets, outside shower and drinking water.
The only downsides is that the car park seems busy/nosy at night. The signs say you can only park your camper here after 5pm but the 5 spots were full by 3/3:30pm.
