Ninety seconds on Warwick Long Bay
Late afternoon is the hour to come: parrotfish feed along the water's edge, close enough to watch from the sand. The beach is long enough that you can usually find a stretch to yourself.
There is plenty of room: the pink sand runs unbroken from the western car park, and it is rarely busy beyond a few local dog walkers and joggers. The reef about 60 metres offshore breaks the southerly swell, so the waves stay moderate even on a windy day. You can snorkel the full length of the beach.
After a swim, walk the dune trail west past Jobson's Cove, Stonehole Bay and Chaplin Bay to Horseshoe Bay, about 2 kilometres away, and take the bus back. The eastern end has a playground with a fort, slides and shaded benches.
