Box Beach — Attraction in Shoal Bay

Nice beach for fishing, swimming on shallow water only when the waves are not to strong or high and if you have kids keep your eyes on them because sometimes the current is very strong and there is no lifeguard . From my experience as a fisherman, I've caught too many sharks and stingrays on surf fishing ... and if you see the waves coming faster between each wave it means it's very dangerous for swimming. Maybe it'll be good for surfers because of the big waves but they still need to be careful.

Walking from the parking to the beach is not that long, just watch around from snakes or spiders... I've been twice and I didnt see anything.... its just for your saftey.

If you want to fish at night, the gate closes at 10pm and it will be open at 6am... No shower or water in the parking at all.

Have a fun and safe holiday...

Sad to see simple minded people exist in this lovely community, alas education must have been too difficult for...
