Darby River & Darby Beach
Darby River
An estuary area along the main road, with a track leading to a wide beach and riverside wetlands, where wombats and emus are often seen.
The Darby River flows into the sea on the west coast. Near the river mouth, you will find a car park and tracks. A boardwalk along the riverbank leads to Darby River Beach, which has wide sands and few visitors. The nearby Darby Saddle car park is the starting point for the Tongue Point track. The surrounding grasslands and wetlands are excellent for spotting wombats, eastern grey kangaroos, and emus, with the most activity at dawn and dusk. The beach has large waves and rip currents, so swimming is not recommended.
