One of the biggest crowd pullers to Austinmer is its beach and being a coastal city, this does not come as much of a surprise. Like most other parts of coastal Australia, when it comes to beautiful beaches, Austinmer does not disappoint. Offering wide expanses of golden sands, rocky headlands and a roaring ocean, Austinmer's beach keeps you coming back for more. The shores of this town are plenty of fun for the whole family and if you are not swimming, sunbathing or building sand castles with your kids you could always try the more daring activities like surfing on the waves of Austinmer. Keep in mind that from September up until April, Austinmer's beaches are patrolled by surf lifesavers. To add to your day out at the beach there is also a small patch of green near here and Lawrence Hargrave Drive. This is an ideal spot for BBQs and picnics.
