Water access though Alan Tanner reserve in BeachHaven.
There is a little jetty or steps into the water from a short track through the Alan Tanner Reserve which is at the bottom of Neptune Ave.
This sea acess route allows you to launch a kyack, canoe or paddle board at any time as it is not dependent on the tide.
Trek through the reserve to the left of the reserve closest to Neptune Ave . The entrance is a pathway just at the end of the metal barrier coming from Neptune Ave , towards Dakota Ave on Ellen Smith Drive .
It’s a Tad neglected but still manageable , a few boards , or steps over the muddy track would make life easier but once you are down there , it is safe and easy accesss.
