Parks & Nature
You are just one big block away from beautiful Shelly Beach. It’s particularly popular for its surf break and the long stretch of off-leash dog beach from North Shelly up.
60 seconds in the car, 3 minutes on the bicycle, 7-8 minutes on foot. Or you might like to drive an extra minute north along Grandview, right at the roundabout and then first right into the Swaldling St carpark. This will get you right up the north end near the flat rocks a nice spot for kids and doggos.

If you’re not into waves, Toowoon Bay is stunning and flat and just the next beach north of Shelly. You walk around the point if you’re already at North Shelly or otherwise it’s just a few minutes drive from home along the coast.
