Samurai Beach is open for day use visitors only. Beach camping is not permitted.
Please be aware that the beach may not be passable at high tide.
Erosion caused by high tides and large swells has created sand scarps or cliffs on the beach front. These sand scarps are unstable and unpredictable, and we advise visitors to avoid these areas because they may collapse.
Take care and drive safely. In an emergency call Triple Zero (000).
