Regional park beaches can be exposed to wind and surf, so check the conditions before you swim, and keep an eye on children near rocks and currents. Pack water, sun protection and a bag for your rubbish, since bins can be few. Quiet winter days suit walks and picnics, while summer weekends bring more people. Check whether camping and parking need booking before you go.
