If you’re travelling in the North West of WA then Eighty Mile Beach is a great stop off point. The caravan park is located on the beach 376 km south of Broome, down 8 km of good gravel road. It is a very pleasant green and well maintained park.
This is a large park with lots of shady powered and unpowered sites and also quite a few cabins, the toilet blocks are reasonably good and clean and there is a camp kitchen, BBQ area and lots of green lawns for activities. Each site is supplied with good fresh water.
Cabins can be booked online, they don’t take bookings for sites, but that is not a problem as so many sites are available. A powered site for 2 adults is $45pn and be aware NO DOGS ALLOWED.
There is a small shop with grocery and fishing supplies and some fruit and vegetables. During the main seasons on Sunday nights they do a roast dinner with dessert, Monday nights is pie night and Wednesdays is hamburger night. They regularly have a small market with a variety of small stalls and occasionally a guest singer.
Two of the main attractions is fishing and shell collecting. The most targeted fish is the threadfin salmon, but you will catch blue nose salmon and always some small sharks. No boats here, only beach fishing.
You don’t have to be an experienced angler or have the best fishing outfit, anyone can enjoy, so good luck. Very good fish cleaning tables are available.
It is called 80 Mile Beach for a reason, you can drive along the beach North or South and do your shell collecting, or fishing, an air compressor is near the fish cleaning table to pump up your tyres and a wash down bay is available as you come off the beach.
Sundowners here are well worth waiting for. Most people head for the beach to watch the sunset – it is truly one of the most pleasant ways to spend an evening.
