About this place

What to expect

Just 8 km from the town centre along a sealed road, Back Beach is a popular surf spot for both locals and visitors.

Beyond surfing, families love exploring the rock pools, making it a great spot to visit at low tide. It’s also an excellent location for beach fishing, with deep holes along the shoreline offering prime conditions for anglers. Exploration & Safety On low tide and small swell days, you can walk far south to explore the reef and large rock pools.
