Scarness beach is right across the road from the busy Scarness shopping centre. This photo was taken late on Friday afternoon ... in the middle of winter.
Just to the right of the photographer is Enzo's a great cafe right on beach where you can pick up a coffee and enjoy it while you watch the fish jumping out in Hervey Bay.

The weather in Hervey Bay, even during winter, is warm enough to see people catching some rays or swimming in the bay most days.
