Onrus Beach Overview:
Onrus Beach lies next to the estuary of the Onrus River which means this is a seaside destination with the best of all worlds. There are calm, shallow waters for the children and decent waves for the more adventurous and sporty beachgoers. This Onrus Beach hosts an annual surfing and body-boarding competition in December, thanks to its awesome swell and conditions.
The lagoon at Onrus Beach tends to have warmer water which is a definite bonus during the cooler months of the year. The sandy shores are ideal for beach sports, a romantic stroll, or quiet simply lying around on a towel while enjoying a good book.
