This popular swimming beach stretches nine kilometres and is protected by offshore sandbars. It is a very safe beach for children with lots of sandbars at low tide. Weekend patrols on weekends and public holidays during summer are run by the Rosebud and McCrae Life Saving Clubs. The foreshore reserve has shaded picnic areas, barbecues and the new beachside playground near the pier is without doubt, the best on the peninsula. Another small playground and BBQ can be found at Tom Salt Park.
Hungry or thirsty after a nice day on the beach? Not a problem as several coffee shops, cafes and take away outlets are right across the road.
The foreshore Bay trail for walkers and cyclists continues past Rosebud.
Facilities: Skateboard park, BBQ and toilets at Rotary park (opposite Boneo Road), pier....
