Wonthaggi Life Saving Club Playground

Right next to the Wonthaggi Life Saving Club, this spot is a solid pick for families spending a day at Cape Paterson beach. The kids get their playground fix while you’re still close enough to keep an eye on things near the water. It’s geared toward the 4-12 crowd, so a good chunk of a morning or afternoon here makes sense before heading down to the sand. Locals know that pairing the playground with a beach run keeps everyone happy for hours.
