The beach is clean and clear, the foreshore paved and pretty. The open spaces of parks and reserves, in particular the bequeathed John Miller Reserve positioned below ‘Somerlea’, highlight the relaxed recreational emphasis this location exudes.

Open space is assured under the original agreement. Future owners may rely upon ongoing unrestricted coastal and sea views.
Plans to enhance John Miller Reserve are in the council planning pipeline and further signify the continual upgrade this favored foreshore commands.
