Sandy, sheltered beach. Great for families. Walk down MacKenzie Beach Road or drive/bike/walk to the end of Hellesen Drive.
Swimming Beach Dog-friendly SUP and Winter Surfing Kayaking
MacKenzie Beach is a great beach that can often be overlooked and therefore can be a quiet oasis in high season. There is an island out front that breaks the surf so surfing usually only happens in a big winter storm.
Walk from the cliffs at one end along the shoreline to the rocky headlands at the other and explore sea life along the way. Cool rocks and windswept trees to explore in a little bay at the south end of MacKenzie Beach.
Sunny fall day on MacKenzie Beach!
Looking north to south on MacKenzie Beach. Sheltered by the island out from makes MacKenzie a good call for SUP and kayaking and swimming and for just playing in – right kids!
