4) Kooringal Shore

Explore the shallow shoreline of Kooringal.  This shoreline is perfect for kids as it’s constantly so shallow and calm. You could park up all day and spend time picnicking, relaxing, paddling and more here.

9) Champagne rocks

Probably one of our favourite things to do was watch the waves break over the rocks and run away screaming!  The beach here has some waves perfect for bodyboarding.

Where do we recommend you stay?

You’ll need a 4×4 to stay down here as it’s a little off the beaten track but in our opinion, Kooringal is the least touristy area. If you stay down here you must keep an eye on the tide times as you cannot pass the Mirapool Lagoon at high tide!

We stayed at this house in Kooringal.
