Beach Users:
No Info

Beach is soft sand at the very top. No real debris on the beach. Some small sticks etc from nearby trees. This beach is just up the road from the Urangan Pier and shares the same sandbar just offshore. The beach is bordered by a large rock wall. On big high tides, there is no room to launch/land. On higher tides, you have to go to Tooan Tooan Creek. More sand has now built up on western side of rock wall so easier to launch on higher tides there.

From the airport, drive into Hervey Bay on Booral Road (which becomes Elizabeth Street) until you get to the Esplanade. Turn left and travel a short distance until you see a large yellow 'dome' on the right. This is a picnic area with a carpark nearby. The launch spot is directly below the picnic area.
