Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Access to Flaherty Beach is limited. Four-wheel drive is recommended, and the walk from Corney Point Road is substantial, making it challenging for those with mobility issues. The beach itself is flat and sandy, providing easy walking once reached, but the initial access presents a significant barrier.

Kid friendly

Flaherty Beach is exceptionally kid-friendly due to the shallow, calm waters and vast open space. Stroller access is limited to the initial portion of the walk from the car park. There are no dedicated changing rooms or kid-specific facilities, so preparation is essential. The beach is ideal for building sandcastles, playing beach games, and exploring the shoreline.

Pet friendly

Pets are generally allowed on the beach, but owners are responsible for cleaning up after them and ensuring they do not disturb other visitors.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are no food facilities directly on Flaherty Beach. Visitors are advised to bring their own food and drinks. Picnic areas are available in the surrounding area, and restrooms are located at the Corney Point Road car park.
