Herolds Bay has a relatively safe main beach for families and surfers to enjoy. The main beach area is manned by qualified life savers during the holiday season. There are also many rock pools for children to enjoy during low tide, as well as two large tidal pools. There are clean ablution blocks with toilets, and usually ice-cream vans are parked close to the beach, selling ice-cream, cooldrinks, chips, etc. The Herolds Bay café is situated away from the beach area, but is a quick walk from there.
