If you love a stroll along the ocean, or a refreshing dip in the sea, be sure to head to the redeveloped Rockingham Foreshore. The area has a laid-back feel and is a lovely place to spend a few hours on a sunny day. The main foreshore area has terraced seating, with colourful built-in sun lounges. This shaded spot would be a great place to put your feet up with a book – you could even pretend you were on an overseas holiday!

There is a long, flat footpath to stroll along and enjoy the view over the ocean to Garden Island. Plenty of benches can be found along the way if you’d like to linger a little longer to take in the stunning sea view. The Rockingham Foreshore is lined by Churchill Park. It’s green grassed areas, and shade from huge pine trees, make it a lovely place to bring along a picnic to enjoy, make use of the free BBQs or even grab a take away fish and chips to eat in the park. There’s plenty of play equipment too, if you have grandkids tagging along.

If you enjoy fishing, you may like to try your luck at catching a fish from the jetty.
