The unique Cochrane Lagoon is positioned between the two beaches and is an easy 3 min walk. It's perfect for kayaking, exploring the wetlands, fishing and for chilling on its banks feeding the ducks and swans.

Handy to amenities including a bakery, grocery and bottle shop, chemist, hair and beauty salons and a newsagent. Tip..... Take a walk along the beach at dusk and enjoy drinks at the surf club at Macmasters beach on Fri and Sun evenings or wood-fire pizza and tapas at Copacabana beach as you watch the sunset.
