| | Walkabout - Rosebud |
 | | Rosebud is named after a schooner which ran aground on a sandbank here in 1851. |
 | | It is a good beach for surfing, bodyboarding, wave skiing and sailboarding, depending on the winds, and it is patrolled on weekends in summer and during other holiday periods but it is important to swim between flags as the ocean beaches on the southern side of the peninsula are often too dangerous for swimming. |
 | | Like Rosebud, Rye is essentially suburban in character with strip shopping centres but it has a golf course, a fine foreshore area, a pier, a playground and rotunda, barbecue facilities, and a shallow sandy and safe beach which is good for sailboarding and windsurfing. |
