Dovercourt Bay Beach unfurls a generous stretch of sand, perfect for long, contemplative walks or energetic family play. The distinctive white lighthouses, known as the Dovercourt Range Lights, punctuate the horizon, offering a unique photographic subject and a tangible link to the area's maritime heritage. The low tide reveals an even broader expanse, ideal for kite flying or simply letting the kids chase the receding waves.
