There are BBQs and plenty of grassed areas to enjoy a picnic or watch the Pelican feeding plus a fenced-in playground and large chess set to enjoy a big game of chess. Just an all-round fantastic place to visit for families.

Pelican Feeding

The biggest attraction in the Entrance is Pelican Feeding. Feeding occurs every single day of the year at 3:30pm at the foreshore next to memorial park. The Pelicans are not only fed but they are checked over and treated for any injuries they may have. This is an excellent thing to do while on holidays.
