This Beach is a ten minute drive from our house. It is also a very easy, short and pleasant bus ride from nearby Main Station (Bus #64). Kew Beach is a blue ribbon beach. Swimming is great, with lots of amenities, board walk, beac ball nets etc. The surrounding neighbourhood is lovely and Queen Street East has lots to offer too. A day-trip we strongly recommend.
