Steamers Beach

A remote beach that requires a hike to reach, ringed by towering sea cliffs, with clear water and frequent seal sightings.

Steamers Beach lies on the southern shore of Booderee National Park. From the car park, it is about 2.5 km one way along a bush track, and the final stretch descends wooden steps to the sand. Tall sandstone sea cliffs flank the beach, the water takes on an emerald hue, and seals occasionally rest on the rocks. It is quiet and uncrowded. Surf is big and rips are strong, so swimming is not recommended. Allow roughly 2–3 hours for the return trip. There are no facilities, so bring your own water and food.
