Thomas River is an attractive area popular for beach and rock fishing. Southern Right Whales visit during the winter and early spring months. The bay has very hard white sand, gorgeous turquoise colored water and big rolling waves. 4WD access to the beach between the river and the rive mouth via a small track. The Thomas River is very shallow and not very appealing, but the beach well and truly makes up for it.
Bird watching is popular with numerous walk trails through the area.
Two camping areas run by CALM. One on a hillside overlooking the river and ocean. Quite a few cleared sandy bays recessed into groves of predominantly banksia trees. Fairly sheltered although there was a bad bush fire couple of years ago and they are slowing growing back. Several bays quite large enough for big caravans or RV's. The walk trail to the beach is about 100metres. Very good facilities with new facilities being built for the tourists on this site.
The second camping area is in dense shrubbery beside the Thomas River. You can not see the river because of the vegetation. The area is sheltered and has good facilities but not much shade.
No pets are allowed. Best time to go would be Spring, Summer and Autumn. You will need a National Parks Pass and camping fees apply.
The photo shows our view from the hill camping area just after the bush fires.
It is a very pleasant spot and the white beach just goes on and on.
Suitable for all vehicles to enter the park
