About this place
What to expect
Manning Point Beach commences on the southern side of the sandy 500-metre-wide Manning River entrance. It extends southwest, initially as a low sandy 2.5 kilometre long spit, then as a steep, coarse narrow beach for a total of 10 kilometres to the southern mouth of the river, called Farquhar Inlet, a popular spot for camping. The riverfront town of Manning Point, with two caravan parks, is located south of the spit. Manning Point Beach is the only four-wheel drive access point for the camping ground at Farquhar Park. All vehicles driving on Manning Point Beach need a beach permit issued by MidCoast Council.
