Byfield National Park and Nine Mile Beach

Byfield is a mix of rainforest creeks, coastal heath and long empty beaches. Nine Mile Beach and Stockyard Point are reached on sandy tracks, so a 4WD is the safer bet. Camping is cheap and the Waterpark Creek section has a clear, tea-coloured swimming hole.

Good to know
