The foreshore at the eastern side of the beach is backed by some pleasant parkland with picnic and barbecue facilities and boat hire services.

The beach derives its name from Chinese fishermen who used it as a base of operations in the early to mid 19th century, catching and curing fish for markets in Queensland, the goldfields and China.
