Town Beach is a small, sandy beach located directly on the Geraldton Foreshore in the heart of the city, between the Geraldton Yacht Club and the Esplanade. It is a family-friendly space with a relaxed vibe. For paddlers launching from shore, access is facilitated by beach access matting located directly across from the Geraldton Yacht Club, which provides all-abilities access to the sand and sea; a more traditional ramp is also available at this location. The beach sits within Champion Bay, and the area is noted for its consistent and infamous winds, which are a major consideration for paddlers. During the warmer months from November to April, the beach is a hub for watersports including stand-up paddleboarding, and the consistent summer winds have made Geraldton a top location for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The waters off Town Beach are calm, offering protected conditions compared to more exposed areas like Point Moore. Paddlers should be aware that the adjacent Francis Street boat ramp and jetty undergo periodic maintenance, which may affect nearby road access, but the beach itself remains accessible. From Town Beach, paddlers have direct access to Champion Bay. Notable sights visible from the water include Seal Rock, where local sea lions are known to sun themselves, and the iconic Point Moore Lighthouse to the west. The foreshore area features landscaped walkways, viewing platforms with binoculars, and amenities including picnic tables, BBQs, and a playground. Dogs are prohibited at Town Beach.
