"Ayliffe Park in Golden Beach, QLD, is a relatively quiet place to enjoy Sunshine Coast beach and water. Well-maintained toilets, with outside showers and disability access in-cubicle toilet/ shower. Covered picnic shelters with BBQs, seats, tables, and shade from lush trees offer respite on sunny days. Parking is conveniently located adjacent the park but be aware that it is busy along the Esplanade. Easy beach access, and shared pedestrian paths are perfect for strolls and cycling. Ideal for a day of fun and relaxation by the water especially for families with small children."
