It is just a beach. The car park is small. The parking costs $8 per day. There is not enough room to make a U turn and there is 8km of corrugated dirt road to get there. The government pays people to fine you $100 each, if you do not pay for the parking. The parking system is a donation envelope with a tear off section that is displayed on the dash of your car to show you have paid. As we arrived 2 ugly fat rude tattooed bearded Parks and Wildlife Rangers gleefully ticketed nearly 20 cars with $100 each, in on the spot fines. What a rort! There is a long drop toilet and no water. Bring your own water. Extremely badly managed and maintained. Horrible! We pay for Parks in both State and Federal Taxes. I am disgusted at usage charges for parks. It is simply Double Taxation and I hate it!
The beach was really nice with big waves today. It was busy with parking due to the Byron Bay Bluesfest, but there were plenty of spots at the beach. There is a nudist area, which is good to know. The sand and water were great, with huge waves. The view of Byron Bay and the lighthouse was nice. It's definitely worth a visit. I'm just curious, are there ever lifeguards there?
