About Froggies Beach
A green frog painted on the rocks watches over the beach, while a boardwalk snakes its way around the sand and up to Point Danger headland. The headland provides a great vantage point for spotting whales during the colder months.
There are public toilets in Apex Park, above Froggies Beach, or up the hill at Point Danger. You’ll find tables, shade structures, barbecues and beach showers at nearby Rainbow Bay. The oceanway wraps around Froggies Beach, connecting Snapper Rocks to Point Danger.
