Hey
Anyone know 80 mile beach
well? In a few weeks I’m traveling to
Newman via
Broome and was thinking about going to
eighty mile beach. Can you drive down the length of
the beach? If not, from where to where can you drive? Any other tips for this time of year would be good, camping etc I’m guessing swimming is a no go
cheers

I drove onto
the beach and turned right and drove for about 20ks to the creek that comes out there. We fished unsusessfullly for an hr then followed a track back inland along the creek for a few ks. It whinds thru scrub and salt flat and eventually you are able to cross it and it follows a fence line on the otherside of the creek. Thats as far as we went. Looked to be going back to
the beach. It would be possible to
camp there in a Roof top tent but not very attractive as a
campsite. Not sure how legal it would be as l don't know who owns the land. Got a few sandfly bites when we got out and they were bad. Lasted weeks scratching.
Did not turn left from the C P so don't know about that way. There is a great free car wash just as you come off
the beach. You don't have to be a customer of the C P to access
the beach.
The sunsets are magnificent, the C P is
well set out with great grassy bays under trees and good amenities but you pay. It was $40 per night when we where there in August 2020. The place was almost full. Hope this helps.
