Widening Little Bay beach stairs

April 20, 2023

Weekday access to Little Bay Beach will be restricted from early May 2023 for up to three months as work commences to widen the timber staircase used to access the beach. Currently, Little Bay Beach can only be formally accessed via a single set of steep, narrow timber stairs. The narrow stairs make access difficult, particularly in summer when thousands of beach goers visit the beach daily carrying beach gear, eskies, fishing rods and scuba gear.
