3 The Esplanade, Castor Bay
This is a pretty reserve with pockets of established trees and lots of open grassed space for the kids to run around.
Access the reserve from the beach end of The Esplanade and via a walkway between numbers 75 and 77a Beach Road. You will need to park on the road.
A playground, picnic tables and seating are inside the reserve. The nearest public toilets are within easy walking distance just along The Esplanade.
To check for live information on water quality and safe swimming conditions at this beach, see the Safeswim website.
