Elizabeth Beach
A quiet, north-facing beach known for its sheltered waters and relaxed atmosphere. Just a five-minute walk from Shores Beach & Lakeside Villas, it’s the perfect spot for a morning swim, a peaceful stroll, surf, or simply soaking up the coastal breeze. Fringed by national park and patrolled during peak seasons, it’s a favourite among families and those seeking a slower, more secluded beach experience.
Exploring Pacific Palms
Pacific Palms Recreation Club & Wallis Lake – 650m
An easy walk from Shores, the Pacific Palms Rec Club sits right on the edge of Wallis Lake and offers casual dining, live music, lawn spaces for the kids, and some of the best sunset views in the area. It’s also a great launch point for paddleboarding, kayaking, or casting a line.
Pacific Palms Surf Lifesaving Club – 650m
Set just metres from Elizabeth Beach, the Pacific Palms SLSC is a central part of the community—hosting local events, weddings, and offering lifesaving patrols during summer. Whether you’re attending a celebration or enjoying the safety of a patrolled beach, it’s a key part of the experience just a short walk from Shores.
Shelly Beach – 1.4km
Tucked behind the headland and reached via a bush-fringed walking track, Shelly Beach is a quiet, unpatrolled spot loved for its natural rock pools and sense of seclusion. It’s the kind of beach that rewards slow mornings and early risers with solitude and raw coastal beauty.
Boomerang Beach – 2.4km
Known for its consistent surf and expansive shoreline, Boomerang Beach is a popular spot for both surfers and sunseekers. Whether you’re catching a wave or laying out a towel for the afternoon, it’s a vibrant, open beach that’s just a few minutes’ drive from Shores.
Booti Booti National Park walking track – 2.9km
Explore the coastal rainforest and panoramic lookouts of Booti Booti National Park, just under 3km from the property. This protected natural area offers well-maintained trails, seasonal wildflowers, and sweeping views over the lake and sea—ideal for walkers of all levels.
Blueys Beach – 3.4km
With its relaxed surf-town feel and a collection of cafés, boutiques, and takeaway favourites nearby, Blueys Beach offers more than just sand and sea. It’s a lovely spot to pick up a coffee, browse local shops, or enjoy a more energetic beach day before returning to the calm of Shores.
Tiona – 5km
Tiona is where Wallis Lake meets the ocean, offering calm lakeside beaches, picnic spots, and the beautifully simple Green Cathedral—an open-air chapel under towering palms, popular for weddings and quiet reflection.
Smiths Lake – 7.8k
This peaceful lake is perfect for families and those who love to be on the water. Whether you’re paddleboarding, kayaking, or letting the kids wade at the shore, Smiths Lake offers a relaxing inland alternative to the surf, all within a short drive.
Whoota – 10km
Head inland to the forested ridgelines of Whoota and discover the breathtaking Whoota Whoota Lookout. With views stretching across Wallis Lake and the coastline beyond, it’s one of the most rewarding vantage points in the entire Barrington Coast region.
