Lakeside is a shore-entry reef site in Lighthouse Bay, Australia, suitable for beginners. The topography consists of a reef system reaching depths of up to 15 metres. Divers and snorkellers should be aware of variable visibility and potential hazards, including surf and strong currents that can develop away from the entry point. When entering from the shore, shuffle your feet to avoid disturbing stingrays. Conditions vary, so it is recommended to check the surf state and current before entering the water. Timing dives around slack water is advised if tidal flow is strong.
