Lucky Bay

You've probably heard of Lucky Bay in Esperenace but did you know there's a Lucky Bay beach near Kalbarri?

Found just 30 mins drive south of Kalbarri town, visitors mostly spend the days going back and forth to the beach, swimming, fishing and four-wheel driving on the soft sand dunes. It's not far from Wagoe Beach Quad Bikes if you want to book on a tour!

A Camping area among the dunes is available for tents and camper trailers. There is bush toilets, industrial bins and even a chemical toilet dump point. The only thing it doesn't have is fresh water so make sure you top up your tanks before you head in. A pet friendly and a perfect spot to camp with dogs if you have them on board!

With it's close proximity to Kalbarri, restock your supplies (food and water) in town as you need to be fully self-sufficient here at Lucky Bay - but it's worth it!
