Sutherland Shire Council lists a playground, a bubbler, an MLAK accessible toilet and parking; public toilets, change rooms and showers are in the Shelly Park Pavilion. The pool and beach are not patrolled by lifeguards. Council asks swimmers to enter and exit ocean pools carefully and for adults to fully supervise children.
