11 mile lagoon is a fantastic place to spend with family down the beach. 

Its dog friendly - so even the pet will enjoy themselves. 

Shallow area's inside the reef lagoon means kids of most ages can swim/play safely (with adult supervision of course).  

In summer the water is always noticeably warmer in the lagoon than elsewhere.

Although its windy in the carpark its seems always protected on the beach.

There is 4wd access onto the beach - on both headland sides. 

It's great for Sunsets too! 

It's along the twilight cove road tourist loop.

The only thing missing is the surf,  if you also want to do that - which case second choice would be West Beach.
