To See In NSW - Aslings Beach

 


This is a beautiful beach across from the reflections holiday park in Eden. This is a great surfing beach. You can swim at this beach, there are some life saving services but I suspect these are run seasonally and only in a small section of the beach. The beach itself has a bit of a slope to it, less so when it’s low tide. The sand is also very grainy, not the soft sand we’ve had at previous beaches. There are plenty of shells to look at and collect along the beach, and it’s quite a long beach to walk along. Down one end is the ASLINGS BEACH ROCK POOL with heaps of 8 legged starfish in the rock pools.

There is a great path that goes almost the length of the beach. The best part of the path is the pictures and information all along the path of the different boats that visit the harbours at Eden. As we’ve walked along little miss has wanted me to read every single sign. There are 20 in total. There are also little exercise stations all along the path, which we’ve had a turn on.

The best part about this beach for me is the sunrises. They are magical across the water. On the days the water is flat and calm there have been dolphins. The first morning there was a small pod of dolphins that I only saw for a short period of time. Another time there was a pod of at least 20 dolphins (I think closer to 40) that swam from one end of the beach to the other.  I watched them for over an hour. I was definitely not alone that morning, people heard the dolphins were there and flocked to the beach to see them. They even jumped out of the water a few times as well, I was really excited to get a picture of them jumping.
