Salty smiles
June 21, 2026
Coming to Cottage by the Sea almost always guarantees the exhilarating joy of the ocean, and the salty smiles on the faces of this Take a Break group were proof of that.
Body Boarding is always a favourite for children visiting Cottage, and the enthusiastic crew from Lightning Reef Primary school in Bendigo were no exception. After tackling the challenge of learning how to wriggle into a wetsuit for the first time - a rite of passage in itself-, the real excitement began.
With a stretch of unseasonably perfect beach weather and plenty of waves rolling in, it was hard to find a child without a salty grin. Laughter echoed across the beach as the group embraced every opportunity to splash, surf and enjoy the ocean.
Plenty of waves and plenty of smiles – the ultimate Cottage by the Sea goal of having FUN was well and truly achieved.
