Character Zones:

Environment:

Surf Club Beach. The main town beach.

There are pedestrian desire lines along the foreshore and along the commercial edge. Generally there are footpaths along the fore-shore, however a consistent landscape treatment would improve the aesthetics of the area.

There are limited pedestrian connections across Princes Highway/Esplanade between the commercial edge of the street and fore-shore.
