Herald Bight Campground — Hotel in Francois Peron National Park

Most mesmerising place I've ever visited. Camped here for 3 nights, didn't bother moving to anywhere else in the national park as it was amazing here. The beach is soft getting onto it but closer to the water it is firm due to rocks but beware as these rocks have oysters growing on them and the shells are razor sharp, avoid driving on them unless you want to risk puncturing a tyre. I towed my 14ft tinny in and beach launched it no worries, just let you tyres down to 12psi and if you're an experienced 4wder it's like anywhere else in WA. The tide does move more than 100+ meters between high and low tide, so if launching a boat at low tide, launch it onto the sand if you need to and the water will eventually rise enough for you to move the boat out further and leave it at anchor at a safe distance out. I will certainly be...

Beach is OK but when the tide is out the actual shoreline is very far away and you can't risk driving on that wet sand where the tide will quickly consume. You'd need to walk probably 100 metres from your car to swim which is a bit much in the heat. Be careful and drive slow also because the rocks can be quite sharp in some areas. One of the cars with us blew two tyres simultaneously on one. The entrance and exit is also very soft so I wouldn't attempt it unless you have a 4x4 with low range...

Absolutely incredible place to visit. Perfect for families with young kids and infants, couples and anyone looking to setup a beach chair in the water with a beer. During summer the water is very warm and shallow. The water reminds me of Bora Bora. You will need a 4WD to access Herald Bight though. If you go in summer you will not be disappointed. The water is flat no waves so paddle boarding or a kayak...
