Rosie Bay is really only a good idea if you know what you are doing. At low tide it is a beautiful walk around, as there are tons of rocks to climb on, starfish, purple and green sea anemones, and a big cave to roam in (but nothing exciting lurks inside).
On high tide, forget surfing there unless you want to smash into the rocks.
South Chesterman can be REALLY nice; it tends to break near the rocks - all the beaches are beach breaks, but at here they tend to be more in one spot, so the crowds can get a little bigger, as there's not as much wave selection.
North Chesties is past Frank Island, and a longer stretch of beach, still with rideable waves.
Mackenzie Beach is beautiful, but not really for surfing. You can in winter, but I never have so I don't know what it's like. This is more of a sunset, stroll, walk the dog, collect shells, explore the rocks sort of beach.
Tonquin Beach - don't bother, unless you want to skimboard.
