It's right at the end of the Esplanade, so has a great view over the bay to Straddie and also around to Wellington Point. It has a huge new playground, with shadesails, slides, forts and timber walkways. It also has very nice new picnic tables and barbecues, accessible toilets, shared walkway/bikeway and a seperate area with fitness equipment for anyone keen to do some circuit training. Oh, and obviously these days you can't camp at all; this name is an historical reference to its turn of the century popularity as a holiday camping spot by the bay.

But if you take a long leash your furry friends can still enjoy some freedom to sniff. A coffee shop by the park which we were unable to try due to time constraints. A lovely walk. Look for a low tide and enjoy.

On a good day, the point of Wellington Point has the best of everything. Bordered by water on all…read moresides, the point has a park for the kids, a swimming area, a restaurant, take away, a jetty and a boating ramp. All in all, you could have a fantastic family day out. I like to wander down after work on a Saturday and kick back with some fish and chips under one of the huge, Moreton Bay fig trees. You get a nice breeze and a great water view of King Island. You see heaps of wind surfers, jet skis, canoes and boats. There are always couples sitting on benches by the water, kids in the water and groups enjoying a day out in their boat. A fun, holiday atmosphere. On a bad day, you will get a really strong wind and because there is water on all sides, there really isn't anywhere to hide. Best to go on a sunny day unless you are wind surfing.

I know this park is fairly small, but I still like it and it is such a relaxing area…read more The park runs alongside Sturgeon Street as you head towards Ormiston from Wellington Point. I like grabbing some food at the local shops then heading down to Apex park for a picnic. On a hot day, there is plenty of shade plus Hillards Creek runs next to it and provides a great mini water view over lunch. It is like a little oasis away from the main road. I came here not too long ago with a friend. We got a coffee and some cheese and biscuits and had a nice lazy afternoon in the shade. It is a good place for a morning walk too.

Beautiful seascape, ample coverage for outdoor eating, kiosk fish & chips are excellent.read more
