Compton Bay

Why you'll love it here

A beautiful, sandy beach, Compton Bay, is located just off the iconic Military Road close to Brook Beach.

This area is a favourite for surfers, windsurfers and kite surfers due to it often experiencing high winds and amazing waves. Families also love this soft, sandy beach, and during the summer months, getting there earlier rather than later is advisable to get a good spot.

Compton Bay is accessible by a set of wooden steps, and at the bottom, you will note that if you turn left, it is dog-friendly (dogs are not permitted to the right of the steps). There is a large pay-and-display car park.
