The listed location sits on the shoreline itself, so there is no walk to speak of once you are out of the car.
Does Timpson Cove Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
When is Timpson Cove Beach least busy?
Google visit patterns put the quietest hour at Thu 7pm and the busiest at Fri 1pm.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
