In 1910 there were about 8 permanent houses at big Bucklands Beach. A toilet and changing rooms was built about 100m south of Hindman's store set back about 40m from the beach on The Parade. A modernized facility is still there today. The shop mainly catered for the holiday trippers who came by boat and to a lesser extent by car. In summer people would camp in tents at the base of the steep bank under the pine trees that had been planted along the cliff east of Hattaway Ave and the steep section of Bucklands Beach Road.
