About this place

What to expect

Flat Rock is arguably one of the most desired beaches and the most easterly point of this coastline. It is a very popular surfing spot for new and experienced surfers due to the rocky outcrop creating a surf break. The rock pools are home to lots of marine life and are great to explore when the tide is low, making this beach popular with families. It is also home to a lot of birds, so you often see bird watchers looking for specific species. Flat Rock Tent Park is located just behind the dunes, making it a perfect place to camp for beach and fishing lovers. Toilets and showers are available in the car park, and a beach is patrolled in the school holidays. Flat Rock is dog-friendly, but they must remain on a leash at all times.
