Perlubie Beach

Only a little further north to Perlubie Beach. Having seen this spot on many You Tube videos we were really looking forward to camping on the beach again. The drive on to the beach was very firm and the sand itself not soft but rather gritty. We didn't even bother to drop the tyre pressure at all. Still school holidays here and the beach was busy but certainly not chockers. Possibly 50 or so camps along but it is a very long beach. We found a nice spot and setup to watch the tide roll in. Except it didn't. Apparently because of how the moon phase was the daytime tide was only really small while the night high tide was large. Went for a walk out into the sparkling clear water and then a hike up the beach. It's a beautiful spot. Typical of these beaches though, when the tide goes out, it goes way out. A long walk out for a swim.
Unhitched the car from the van and moved it back after advice from others that it may be a close thing for the night tide. Glad we did. A spectaculr sunset finished off a great day at this magical spot.Read more
