Camel Rock

A tilted rock on the beach north of Bermagui, shaped like a resting camel, and a classic sunrise photography spot on the South Coast.

Camel Rock lies on Camel Rock Beach, about 5 km north of Bermagui. Formed from tilted sedimentary rock layers, it looks like a camel lying down when seen from the side. At sunrise, the sun rising from the horizon frames its silhouette beautifully, drawing many photographers. The beach is a popular surfing spot, and its northern end meets the mouth of Wallaga Lake. Nearby, other unusual rocks such as Horse Head Rock can be seen. The waves near the rock are strong, so climbing is not recommended, and swimming is best at a beach with lifeguards on duty.
