Banana Beach
Banana Beach is aptly named for the profusion of wild strelitzia (banana) which are found growing locally.
Part of Melville, Banana Beach has a tidal pool, a lagoon and some pretty good surfing. Swimming is safe and access to the beach is via dune pathways through coastal bush. The South Coast has a profusion of wild banana trees - they grow in large numbers around Banana Beach. Why is that not surprising? The trees can grow up to 9m high and flower throughout the year, producing spiky blue and white flowers from a purple bud. Birds love the flowers but they don’t produce edible fruit, so no free lunch. Sorry, guys.
Surf
A right sand bottomed point break that peels off an outcropping of rocks. On good days it gets very hollow.
