Very popular for camping, fishing, swimming, boating, walking, nature study and wonderful scenery.
A solid rock headland is good for fishing and the beautiful beach sweeps round in a wide arc towards the town of Esperance which is approximately 30kms to the west. Turn off Merivale Road and go about 12kms to the Rangers Office. Quite expensive to camp here but it is a beautiful place. You need a National Park's Pass plus camping fees. The showers are only solar powered so there is no guarantee of a hot shower depends on how many other campers are there and also if the sun has been out or not.
Best time to go is between September and November when the wildflowers are in abundance. Summer is a great time to go for the swimming. It can be cold, wet and very windy during the winter months.
When we were here there was a brick ablution block with flush toilets, wash basin as well as the solar showers. Depends on the rain fall there should be rain water available, a campers kitchen, gas barbecues, tables and seats, bins, some shade and lots of nice walking trails. Small boats can launch with a 4WD but it would be better to go to Lucky Bay. Generators were allowed but at certain times during the day. Camp fires are not allowed.
There is a day picnic area near the beach parking area.
The camping bays have thick protective vegetation surrounding the site, therefore you can not see the ocean even though it is right beside the ocean. Just a short walk.
Most mornings are calm and perfect for swimming then the sea breeze comes in the early afternoon on a average day making it right for the fishing or get a good book ( or Kindle) to read and relax.
Go and enjoy if you are in the area.
