Question Anyone at the beach right now?

I’m in town and wanting to take the kids to the beach. Are you at a beach right now? What’s it like? Was thinking Aramoana but if there’s sea lions about I might give it a miss, otherwise St Clair maybe? But I suppose it’s probably quite busy there….

Saint Kilda is the beaching beach.

This is the type of day that is the best. Take advantage we don't get that many.

Be prepared to park on Victoria Road

We just got home from most of the day at St Clair. It was lovely. Medium busy.

Suns out guns out - if you are gifted the chance of a beach experience in Dunners do not hesitate - you never ever know if/when there will be another!

Can see Tomahawk from my house. It's lovely. And busy lol.

Went to Smaills this morning, there was a slight chilly breeze but hopefully that's gone by now.

I would go to the beach purposely TO SEE sea lions. Pretty special to see them!

Me too, but not when I have a couple of small kids by myself there haha. Sea lions run fast!
