Wallaroo's Calm Beaches
The beaches fronting Wallaroo boast calm waters, ideal for families traveling with young children. North Beach seems to stretch on forever, starting at the marina and ending at the next town. Go for a stroll on the golden sand and try to find some seashells or join a game of beach volleyball. The protected waters only become deeper very gradually, so you can let the kids play with peace of mind. If you're just looking for some peace and quiet, there is plenty of room to spread out. Meanwhile, Office Beach is located closest to Wallaroo's town centre. This is a smaller beach with an enclosed swimming area next to the jetty. The waters are also quite calm and safe for children.
The Wallaroo Jetty
When many people think of Wallaroo, they think of the Jetty, one of the town's most prominent features. Go for a leisurely walk along the 869 metres of the jetty, which offers plenty of photo opportunities at all times of the day. Watch local fishermen reel in various fish or even squid. If you've brought your rod, join in. Fishing at the jetty is free.
Wallaroo: What To Do In Town
After spending your days outside, you might wish to discover the modern side of Wallaroo. For some shopping, head to Owen Terrace, where you will find all sorts of retail shops and art galleries.
If you would like to stay active, spend the afternoon at the town's newly built sporting complex, where you can go bowling, play golf or participate in a game of croquet. Each sport has its area within the complex, separated by communal areas for visitors to relax.
