Whether you’re camping or treating yourself to a stay at the nearby cabins, Pretty Beach is a great place to take in some of Murramarang National Park’s stunning 44km long coastline.
If you’re camping nearby, not only can you roll out of your tent and head straight to the beach for a swim, you could also take easy walk through grasslands surrounded by plenty of kangaroos, hike up a mountain or work up an appetite canoeing nearby.
And when you’re done with the day’s activities, go fishing, catch your dinner and cook up a feast on one of the picnic area’s barbecues. The sunset from here is simply amazing, so make sure you take plenty of family photos with Pretty Beach’s memorable ocean and mountain views as your backdrop.
