Set along the endless, sweeping shores of the iconic Ninety Mile Beach, lies the sleepy town of Seaspray.
With the shimmering waters of Lake Reeve over yonder, the town attracts beaching, fishing, boating types. A large grassy reserve stretches along the shoreline and is picnic-perfect with shady areas, toilets and barbecue facilities. The general store can fill your stomach and set you up with fishing gear needs.
