Newton Reserve serves as a practical basecamp for exploring Portsea's coastal attractions. The reserve offers essential amenities,playground equipment, picnic tables, toilets, showers, and drinking water,all set beneath shaded areas on well-maintained grass. Its strategic location makes it particularly valuable: a walkway connects directly to Portsea Beach, the historic pier, and the local pub, creating an ideal stopping point for coastal walkers. The facilities are straightforward and functional, providing exactly what's needed for a beach day or hiking break without unnecessary frills. Families appreciate the playground while hikers value the shade and water access between legs of longer walks.
