the early morning light. It’s the best time of day to launch a
kayak, walk the dogs (on a time-share basis), or fossick about in
the rock pools with your kids. Bring your boogie boards to push

Head to this Batemans Bay beach before dawn and your footprints
are likely to be the first imprinted in the sand. A couple walking
their labradoodle might follow. Or a young couple with a baby who
tumble down to the low tide to splash in the shallows. It won’t be
too long after this that you will see instructors from one of the
local surf schools pulling into the car park. These are just a few
of the scenarios that might play out at Surf Beach, which is a
patrolled beach during summer. Dogs are permitted at the Surf
Beach Reserve.
