Looking for a beach with warm salt water, large sand bars and Salt Marshes, Rushtons Beach is perfect for swimming. The salt marshes attract loads of birds for the bird watchers in the family.

Make sure to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at the many shaded Picnic tables.

Keep in mind that the beach is a bit of a walk from the parking areas, but visitors say it’s well worth the walk.
