Fun Activity
Access Island Beach via Penguin St and you can drive your car onto the beach. Perfect for loading up a picnic and taking beach toys down.
Help yourself to the kids toys from the buckets at the shack, borrow the blue boogie board and take the blue umbrella to rest on the sand for shade. Settle in for a great day at the beach!
*tip: check 'Island Beach' on the willyweather Web page and look for a South Westerley wind direction. The water will be flat with an off-shore breeze🙂

Ask if they have a baby wallaby or kangaroo at the moment. Sometimes they are abox by the front counter! Wallaby feeding occurs out the back which is great to see.

The township of America River has 2 playgrounds- one across the road from the Oyster Shop near the Jetty (both of these are worth a visit also), and one by the Shed on the oval across from the camp ground.
Take a footy or ball to kick around on the oval too. And a tennis racket and ball from our toy box to enjoy the tennis courts.
If you like playing on tyre swings by the water head down Scenic Drive to the very end and you will see a great spot with a gas BBQ shelter, a swing in a gum tree and fabulous access to the water's edge where you can look for crabs and skim rocks.
This is one of my favourite places on the whole island and a 'secret' spot.
Enjoy the Cannery Walk out to the point from here, if your kids are up for adventure. You may spot Glossy Black Cocatoos.
