Journey to Camel Rock Beach: A Coastal Escape


Hidden along the south coast of NSW lies the mysterious Camel Rock Surf Beach, a hidden gem known for its exceptional surfing, swimming, snorkelling, and fishing opportunities. This secluded paradise is a haven for those seeking adventure and tranquillity.

 

During the summer months, the beach is carefully watched over by patrols, ensuring the safety of all visitors. The beach is also well sheltered, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life when the north-easterly wind blows.

 

For those who seek a deeper connection to the land, a walking track behind the viewing platform leads to Murunna Point, a sacred Aboriginal site overlooking the majestic Wallaga Lake as it meets the sea.

 

Camel Rock is a natural wonder, a striking rock formation formed over 470 million years ago by ancient underwater avalanches and you awe the beauty of the 450 million-year-old rock beds.

 

A viewing platform offering breathtaking views, a shaded picnic area under towering trees, convenient toilet facilities, and ample parking for cars and caravans. Camel Rock Surf Beach is a must-visit destination for any adventurer exploring the wonders of the Australian coast.
