The campsite is easily accessible from the road, and is a convenient distance to Byron Bay and Bangalow (15 mins), Brunswick Heads (10 mins), and Mullumbimby (6 mins). These towns offer great dining, local market, and retail experiences, along with a plethora of activities to pursue: swimming, walking, fishing, great surfing, sea kayaking, ballooning, skydiving, horseriding, golf (eg renowned Ocean Shores golf club is 20 minutes away), and the wonderful rail trail for bikers or walkers can be accessed at Mooball, a picturesque 20 min drive away or try out the new mountain bike trail at the vey pretty township of Uki in the hinterland. Beautiful waterfalls are less than a half hour drive away. There are many local businesses who can help you pursue these kinds of activities if you don't bring your own equipment. The campsite has views across the farm to the distant lighthouse which shines out at night. Your group are the sole visitors and we have had a lot of feedback from guests appreciative of the privacy and convenience this affords them. This farm has been a dairy then beef cattle farm, thus unfortunately it has been mostly cleared, but we are slowly regenerating native species with our cherished hope to continue this in the coming years.

The best camping near Wategos Beach guide

Overview

About

Nestled just northwest of the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse, Wategos Beach beckons with its tranquil waters and picturesque scenery. Visitors can indulge in a leisurely picnic, take to the waves for a spot of paddling, or simply bask in the sun's embrace. With free beachside barbecues and picnic tables at the ready, Wategos Beach is the perfect coastal escape for a day of relaxation and recreation.

When to go

The idyllic Wategos Beach is a year-round destination, with each season offering its unique charm. Spring and winter are ideal for comfortable beach activities and whale watching, respectively. However, summer beckons with warm waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling. To avoid disappointment, it's wise to plan ahead for peak times, as parking can be limited, especially on weekends.

Know before you go

  • Beach safety is paramount; remember that the beaches are not patrolled, and strong rips can occur.
  • Mobile phone reception is limited, so plan accordingly and download the Emergency Plus app for safety.
  • Accessibility is easy, with wheelchair-accessible toilet facilities available for visitors.
  • Pets are not permitted within the park, ensuring the preservation of the natural environment.
  • Parking fees apply, so have payment methods ready for a seamless visit.
