Lake Cathie plages

We had planned to meet our grandchildren for nippers, but unfortunately it didn't happen that day.

There's so much fun to be had at this beach. Although the lake's water level is low and not ideal for swimming, it offers a wonderful opportunity to observe various bird species and aquatic creatures, including sting rays. On the other hand, the oceanfront beach is in excellent condition, with gentle waves that are perfect for swimming. Plus, there are lifeguards on duty during school breaks.

Pilot Beach is located on the west side of the seawall, while Washhouse Beach is situated on the east side, as depicted in the photo. Unfortunately, the marker on Google Maps is incorrectly placed, and I am unable to edit the map as I normally would.
