Pretty Beach: Turo Reserve and Bushwalking

Pretty Beach offers two distinct points to consider when planning a trip: Turo Reserve in town and opportunities for bushwalking in nearby Bouddi National Park. If you’re looking for a holiday rental, you can consider whether play and sport at the reserve or walks in the national park are the focus you want.

Turo Reserve: play, sport and picnics

Turo Reserve in Pretty Beach has playground equipment, a large grassed area for ball games and athletics, sports courts, picnic facilities and free barbecue facilities. This brings together several outdoor activities: the grassed area is specifically for ball games and athletics, while the sports courts are a separate part of the facilities. Picnicking and barbecuing offer another way to spend time at the reserve.

The play area has a maritime theme. Concrete paths connect it to existing park facilities. In addition, rubber safety surfacing has been installed within and around the play area to promote accessibility and inclusion. Different details shape the space: its maritime theme, the paths to existing facilities, and the surfacing, with its expressly inclusive purpose.

Bushwalking in nearby Bouddi National Park

Bouddi National Park offers bushwalking opportunities, including the Bouddi Coastal Walk. This gives a stay in Pretty Beach a different possible focus from the facilities at Turo Reserve. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, you can consider this walking option when planning your trip; you can choose a holiday rental in Pretty Beach based on the activities you want, rather than looking only for a general holiday theme.
