Coonarr Beach is a 4.2 kilometre long, east facing beach that begins amongst the tidal shoals of the Elliott River mouth, then runs straight down to the smaller mouth of Coonarr Creek. A perfect spot for whale watching under the Winter sun or secluded dips in the Summer.

There is a gravel road out to the small beachfront settlement of Coonarr, located toward the southern end of the beach. The beach receives waves averaging over 0.5 metres, which maintain a relatively steep and narrow high tide beach fronted by a continuous low tide bar, up to 100 metres wide.

There is car parking, a table area (but no tables or doggy poop bags so please ensure you have your own supplies and take them with you when you leave).

Coonarr is a long stretch of sandy white beach which to the left you can see Elliott Heads and to the right, you can see Woodgate Beach.
