flats at low tide. There is an undercover picnic area in Moreton Terrace Park. If your family includes the furry kind, there are on-leash dog-friendly areas around Beachmere that include the foreshore area between Biggs Street and Louise Drive. You can also walk dogs on a leash on the foreshore parkland adjacent to Timothy Esplanade and Bakers Flat Road.

If you feel like a hike in the Beachmere area located along the Moreton Bay Marine Park waterfront between Sandstone Point and Beachmere, the Godwin Beach Environmental Reserve is a wonderfully quiet place for a leisurely walkthrough various vegetation habits including mangroves, melaleuca, woodlands and open forest. Your most convenient entry point to access the main walking circuit is at the eastern end of the Godwin Beach Esplanade.

Beachmere is a 'hidden gem' that started as a small village but is now growing into a thriving community. Do yourself a favour and visit and enjoy a sleepy village township with a positive community environment. This township is welcoming, looks out for its elderly and allows individuals to feel more connected and have a sense of purpose. Beachmere is that thriving community, with a sense of kinship, camaraderie and connectedness.

I would highly recommend spending a day at Beachmere. I bought some delicious meat from the butchers and dined in a couple of eateries which did not disappoint with fresh and tasty produce. I also enjoyed meeting and speaking to many local businesses, all with warm and welcoming smiles and happy dispositions. I will definitely make it a regular event; I fell in love with Beachmere and the people in it.
