Racecourse Beach

When to go

The best time to visit Racecourse Beach is during the warmer months, from November to April, when the water and air temperatures are most inviting for beach activities. However, be mindful of the peak holiday seasons, as the beach can get quite busy. Off-season visits might offer a quieter experience but come prepared for cooler conditions and less predictable surf.

Know before you go

• Always swim between the red and yellow flags, as the beach is known for strong rips, especially near Bull Pup Point.
• Check the local weather and surf conditions before heading out to ensure a safe experience.
• There are no Surf Life Saving services provided, so ensure you're confident in your swimming abilities.
• Accessibility to the beach is available from the northern car park by the main road.
• The beachfront caravan park south of the creek mouth offers accommodation options for overnight stays.
