Cylinder Beach

Bordered by Cylinder and Home Beach Headlands, this broad, beautiful beach is patrolled by lifesavers, offers easy access from the car park, and generally has smaller waves than neighbouring beaches like the ominously named Deadman's Beach. As you'd expect, it's popular with families. Remember to swim between the flags.
