Information

If it's on the bucket list then do it! From Eurong to the lighthouse it's 110 km. 80kmh smooth as silk beach if you can time the day trip for a midday low tide. A few dozen campers right at the Cape where the water is emerald green, but prior to that it's just you and nature. Drive another 10 km to the lighthouse where the closed beach section starts.
