Ninety seconds on Shelly Bay Beach
Bring small children here: the bay is flat enough for a toddler to paddle, and trees give shade. There is no lifeguard at any time of year, so an adult has to watch the water.
It stays shallow even at high tide, and a shallow reef nearby gives older children something to snorkel. On the western side, a boardwalk runs through a small nature reserve: red mangroves round a saltwater pond, Bermuda cedar and good birdwatching.
Across the car park is a playground with climbing frames, swings and a playset for small children. Local football and cricket teams use the field at weekends, and the traffic on North Shore Road can be heard from parts of the beach.
