SEAL ROCKS AREA
NO 1 BEACH
No.1 Beach is found when you first enter Seal Rocks and is situated directly across from the Seal Rocks Camping Reserve. A good surf beach with a rocky headland walk. At times weed can appear on the beach with rough seas, at this time Boat Beach, Light House Beach & Treachery are an alternative.
Boat Beach
Boat Beach is accessed by driving past Seal Rocks No.1 Beach up to the general Store. Take the gravel road straight ahead to the left of the store This road also leads to Sugar Loaf Point Lighthouse. The beach here is nearly always quite flat and suitable for families. Snorkelling is good along the rocks and the island off shore called Statis Rock.
Light House Beach
Light House Beach is found by driving past Seal Rocks No.1 Beach, Seal Rocks general Store and Boat Beach then onto the carpark for Sugar Loaf Point Lighthouse. Leave your car here then walk 15minutes to the base of the lighthouse turn to your right and walk the stairs that lead to Light House beach. Good diving, snorkelling.
Treachery Beach
Treachery Beach is found by turning right at Seal Rocks general Store and following Thomas Road to Treachery camping area. The headland here sticks out further into the ocean than any other point on the whole Great Lakes coast, which means it catches a lot of swell and hence good waves to catch. The surf can be large at times.
Submarine Beach
Despite easy access via the National Parks Camp ground in the north, Submarine Beach has a feeling of remoteness. And although it oftens sees monster surf which comes through from the South, during calm weather it is generally safer for swimmers than Mungo Beach.
