Its most common attraction is a popular white-sand palm fringed beach, also called Eastern Beach,[1] with summer temperatures attracting thousands of people from neighbouring suburbs to the beach to enjoy the shallow waters, and shops and parks within close vicinity. At the southern end of the beach is a boat ramp giving high-medium tide access to the dedicated water skiing zone adjacent to the beach. This was a popular area for gathering Pipi and Cockles, but overuse has seen a rahui or ban placed on the beach.[2][3] It is part of the Bucklands Beach peninsula.
