Snelling Beach
Highlights
- Explore the 660 m long Snelling Beach, perfect for surfers seeking thrilling waves over 1 m high.
- Admire stunning views from the lookout along North Coast Road, showcasing the beach's natural beauty.
- Wade through the gentle surf zone, enjoying a 100 m wide area ideal for swimming and relaxing.
- Stroll along the foredune, where the Middle River meanders, creating a picturesque backdrop for your day out.
Snellings Beach is the most visible and most popular on the north coast.
The North Coast Road runs right past the western end of the beach, providing parking and beach access, while a lookout on the road provides an excellent view of the entire beach.
The 660 m long, northwest facing beach receives waves averaging over 1 m, which maintain a 100 m wide surf zone dominated by four beach rips and permanent rips against the rocks at each end. The waves tend to increase in height toward the western end, increasing the rip intensity.
A 10 m high foredune backs the beach, with the Middle River meandering through the backing floodplain and exiting across the northern end of the beach.
