Let’s explore the route
The parade will begin at Beachlands Domain, starting from the Sunkist Bay Road side. From there, it will proceed along Beachlands Road before making a left turn onto Wakelin Road. The route will take you through the old Beachlands town centre. The parade will continue all the way down to the domain near the Log Cabin, where a festive celebration awaits with markets, Santa’s grotto, games, and much more.
