I'm from Ceduna and used to beaches on every corner, this one was just as great but in a different way.. The sand is so clear, you could actually go deep enough into the water to swim without reaching seaweed or being a scary distance away from shore. Wouldn't recommend looking for shells/rocks here, I only saw about 1 of each. The waves weren't too big but they slammed you in the shallow a bit (21km wind day for reference).
Dog-friendliness
There were plenty of dogs, all seemed to have enough room not to be bothered by or bother strangers.

Again, another loo with no toilet paper next to the playground...or should I say 2 loose with no paper!!! The playground was wicked with a flying fox which my kid loved but after lactose intolerant child got caught twice in a week taking a dump in a public toes only to find no loo paper...it has come apparent Mum needs to take a toilet roll into public toilets adjacent to playgrounds in Adelaide!!

This is our favourite park at West Beach. There's lots of room to spread out & sheltered seating areas. The playground is great for kids & lots of fun. You can see the ocean from here & watch the kites & spot the ships coming in. The seagulls are plentiful but they didn't annoy us, they just quietly waited for food. The most polite seagulls I've ever come across...

  • Nilushka Chirantha

Amazing end of the west beach. There's plenty of parking and some outdoor play equipment for the kids towards the left of the carpark. Walking down towards the sea you come to a wide open expanse of sandy beach ideal for a picnic. Plus there's usually a Greek food truck and an amazingly good ice cream truck during business hours just on the carpark.

  • Matthew Wilson

Fantastic little reserve and park for big and small children to play when not down at the beach. Multiple bench seats and picnic tables for sharing meals or having a celebration down at the beach. Well looked after grassed area to setup picnics or keep an eye on the children as they play. Two parking areas north and south, so plenty parks available

What a waste of tax payers money. Was this meant to be an 'upgrade' ?? We had a perfectly fun, shaded, varied playground before, now it's a walking platform for a view, you could just get by standing on the footpath. The new slide is too short and no new playground equipment has been provided. How much did this cost???

  • John Croucher

We were only walking through it but did get to watch two mothers with a child each utilising the facilities. All four were having a ball of a time and it was great to watch. We did appreciate the tree shade and the access paths to the beach. I would recommend coming to this park any day.

  • Julia K

A lovely lawn area with a playground for the children. There's a path along the foreshore which great for walking, running, cycling, etc. Can be quite busy early-mid morning on weekends due to park-run and other events. Is next to and shares the same carpark as West Beach Sailing Club.

  • Tamara Skye

  • Eddy Parkinson

playground with covers and table under cover. toilet is about 400 meters walk away. easy access to beach and has a shower for washing off sand. no bbq nearby, 2 good sized trees, and more about 100 meters away.

  • Raman Kumar Sharma

Nice place with all the amenities you need on the beach. The beach is in the middle of famous Henley and Glenelg beaches. I prefer to go to this beach as the other two beaches are crowded.

  • Terry S

Great place to pause while on a bicycle ride North or South along the coast. There is also lots of parking and easy access to the beach. A coffee shop is under the sailing club.

  • Dianah Chorlton

Stunning white sand beach that appears to go on forever. My visit was a refreshing dip in the calm waves of the ocean, and a smile to see others having fun in the sun.
