Ocean Beach
Last updated October 2026
Ocean Beach at Umina is a patrolled beach protected by Broken Bay. NSW Beachwatch says this gives the experience of an ocean beach with the safety of an inland waterway, which is great for family-friendly swimming. Council lifeguards are on duty 9am-5pm Monday to Friday and Surf Life Saving volunteers patrol on weekends and public holidays during the patrol season, which runs from Saturday 26 September 2026 until Sunday 25 April 2027. Swim between the red and yellow flags and supervise children at all times. Beach matting is installed here each patrol season and free beach wheelchairs can be booked. NSW Beachwatch lists a cafe or kiosk, parking, showers and toilets here. Nearby (OpenStreetMap): Cafe Ronto, about 340 m; Margarita Daze (restaurant), about 236 m; Aldi (supermarket), about 301 m; BMX Burgers (takeaway), about 318 m, plus several other places to eat.
