What visitors say
Joss Bay is still a lovely stretch of sand, and overall it’s a really nice beach. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed a bit more littering lately, so it’s not quite as pristine as it used to be which is a real shame. Regardless, it’s still a fantastic place for a beach day. The rock pools here are absolutely amazing and great for exploring. There are plenty of opportunities to spot shellfish like sea snails and crabs and even a lobster if you are lucky. Definitely worth a visit, just hope people start taking better care of it and packing up their rubbish.

A lovely beach, very shallow gradient so very child friendly. Has a small cafe and public toilets. A great place for a day at the beach.

Joss Bay Beach is as lovely and spacious as always! Plenty of room to relax, with toilets and a car park conveniently available. Perfect spot for a family vacation. There’s a bit of seaweed and some stones in the water, so be careful as they can be sharp, especially for kids. On a sunny day, it’s absolutely perfect! Plus, you can enjoy ice cream, bars, and delicious fish and chips nearby.
