About this venue

Also known as Flag Pole beach, this little known secret can be booked for a unique function or water-inspired activity, such as rowing or sailing regattas. It's a great place to escape the City Centre and enjoy the views. Walking distance from the Elizabeth Quay Train and bus stations, take down a rug, enjoy a picnic by the river and watch the boats pass by or possibly catch the glimpse of a dolphin or two.

Check out the helpful Event Guidelines here.
