About the town
Cape Schanck
Rosebud is the Peninsula's big beach town: a long, safe bay beach and a 300-metre pier out front, a busy strip of cafes and restaurants across the road, and Arthurs Seat rising behind.
It has everything in one place: shopping, dining, golf, a pool and the Peninsula's biggest foreshore campground.
Featured Spot
The Foreshore
Rosebud's foreshore is the heart of the town: a 9km swimming beach protected by sandbars, the lit-up pier, one of the Peninsula's best playgrounds, and a long run of camping under the banksias, with the Bay Trail running the whole way.
Eat & Drink
Rosebud's foreshore strip is one of the Peninsula's busiest places to eat, with cafes, restaurants, bars and takeaway across the road from the beach, and plenty more in the plazas and side streets.
Shopping
Rosebud is the Peninsula's shopping hub, with Rosebud Plaza's 70 or so stores, the Rosebud Beach Shopping Centre and the local markets, so everything you need is close to the beach.
Things to Do
Join the free parkrun on the foreshore every Saturday morning, swim at Yawa Aquatic Centre, play a round at the Rosebud Country Club or Bay Views, or walk the Arthurs Seat State Park trails behind town.
Accommodation
Rosebud has stays for every budget, from motels and holiday homes to the foreshore campground, one of the Peninsula's biggest, running along the sand.
