Stanley Beach

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

On a tiny bay with the old Stanley Bridge soaring above it, this beach has a modest patch of sand for bathing backed by three levels of beach cabins. The sight of the sea crashing against the bridge’s concrete supports is dramatic, but this beach is not very suitable for kids because of the waves. It gets overcrowded in summer.
