Aquafun - Avoca Lake

Hire kayaks, pedal-boats and stand up paddle boards at Aquafun in Heazlett Park on the shore of Avoca Lake.

It’s is a must-do activity at Avoca Beach for adults and kids. It’s a lot of fun!

Glide around Avoca Lake and enjoy the lovely scenery. Avoca Lake is a large coastal lagoon with an untouched island and many bays to explore.

Swap the boats as often as you wish. For example: begin with a kayak, swap for a pedal-boat, finish up on a stand up paddle board (stand up paddle boards are for 12+ years old).

Kids enjoy trying different pedal-boats and kayaks and have a blast jumping out of the boat into the water.

You can glide anywhere around the lake. Head past the bridge into the residential area, into the untouched part of the lake and around Bareena Island. 

Kids using watercrafts on their own can glide safely on the eastern part of the lake. This part of the lake is shallow in many places and boats don’t get carried away by the wind. And it’s easy to keep an eye on the kids because you can walk around the lake.

Before or after your boating session, enjoy a picnic under the large fig trees in Heazlett Park.

There are also a children’s playground, a tennis court and a sports oval located in the park. A great spot to spend quality time. Bring a picnic rug, chairs and a ball.

Cafes and shops are a minute walk away, so you can quickly grab takeaway coffee or fish and chips.
