Safety
Erehwon Point is a sandy beach with some rock formations on the right side of the beach, that are not fully visible at high tide so keep to the right if swimming with kids to avoid getting hurt.
There are markers until which you can swim in the ocean, avoid going past them as it can be dangerous due to currents and very deep water.

- BBQs, picnic tables and benches at Erehwon Point Reserve
- Parking along the Esplanade
Accessibility
There is ramp access down to the beach.
School Holidays Tip
There is quite a bit of shade near the red rocks on the right side of the beach, which is lovely for a picnic or just to relax. Keep in mind that the rocks leave red stains on clothing, so avoid sitting directly on them.
