Leave your cares behind when you camp at this peaceful oceanside spot with ever-changing views of the ocean, dunes and headlands. If you’ve left your cozzie at home, don’t worry because just minutes away is Samurai Beach, a designated nude bathing spot.
Once you’ve set up your tent or caravan behind the beautiful natural sand dunes, there’s plenty to do. South-east facing Samurai Beach is also a great spot for surfing and popular One Mile Beach, a leisurely 1hr stroll over the sand, is a popular swimming spot.
Getting there is part of the adventure, because you’ll need a 4WD vehicle if you want to drive into Samurai Beach campground. Be sure to enter via Gan Gan Road, and camp only in designated campsites.
Spend your days surfing, fishing or exploring scenic headlands, including the beautiful coastline near Big Rocky Island, about 1.5km away. If you’d like to venture further afield, visit Wreck Beach or try the popular Tomaree Head Summit or Fort Tomaree walks.
