Fun For the Kids in Tidal River
Children will love outings in Wilsons Promontory National Park, which is a popular destination for beach activities, viewing wildlife like emus, echidnas, wombats, and kangaroos, and camping and hiking.
The park also has an outdoor cinema that plays the latest Hollywood releases. You can take a sleeping bag along to get more comfortable. Furthermore, it's likely the only cinema in the world where you might have wombats as fellow audience members!
Fairy Cove, which is among the best-kept secrets of Australia, is a stretch of beach known for its immense beauty. The rock pools here are a major draw for children and the low waves that hit the shore mean that swimming here is relatively safe for kids.
An excursion to Norman Island with the little ones also makes for a great way to spend part of your holidays at Tidal River. The island is a draw for bird watchers, in particular, as numerous seabirds flock to here to breed.
Explore the Beaches
The Squeaky Beach, as its name suggests, is a picturesque beach where the quartz sand actually makes a squeaking sound under your feet as you walk. The phenomenon attracts plenty of holidaymakers who rediscover their inner child, while jumping and running along the sand, to a soundtrack of squeaking.
Darby Beach, with its huge sand dune on one side and rock formations on another, is a scenic spot that makes for good exploration, in addition to sunbathing or splashing in the water. Here you could be forgiven for thinking you've wound up at a private beach—the Darby Beach area is rather secluded, making an excursion here even more joyful. However, while you are swimming, do watch out for the powerful waves, as they can be strong, with a powerful undertow.
