Mystery Bay to 1080 Beach Walk
4.8
17 reviewsAbout
A ten minute stroll from the entrance to Eurobodalla National Park will find you at Pooles Beach. Continue along the bush track for 50 minutes to 1080 Beach (pronounce it like the locals ‘ten-eighty’). Return the way you came or at low tide it may be possible to reach Mystery Bay via the shoreline, traipsing over the rocks. For this route, take the stepped boardwalk down to the beach and go north around the headland and along a broken and rocky section of the coast. At Mystery Bay, take the opportunity to walk out on Boat Harbour Point, a rocky outcrop linked by a sandbar.
Length: Five kilometres return Time: Two hours return Grade: Moderate Start: At the beach car park (end of Mystery Bay Road) or the entrance to Eurobodalla National Park on Lamont Young Drive, Mystery Bay

The disturbingly named 1080 Beach can be found at the end of the unmarked and unsealed 1080 Road in Mystery Bay, so probably best not to try this one in a standard car. It’s worth it once you get there though, as this is the beach to come to in the Mystery Bay area if the surf is too rough everywhere else. It has a protected south-facing hook sheltered by a rocky headland that is in itself a rock formation of great beauty. You park at the top of the hill near the amenities block, and take a well-built pathway to get down to the beach.

The scenery is beautiful, the beach is quiet, and the sunrise is unforgettable.

A wonderful beach, despite the unfortunate name. We chose to park in Mystery Bay and do the easy 2 km walk to 1080 beach, as we love the spotted gum forests which are endemic to the area, and a couple of short side trails to other beaches along the way. The picnic area at the carpark is very nice with great views up and down the coast. The beach is quite long to be away from other beach users and it has a few rock formations to explore.

A beautiful secluded beach. Not patrolled, so take care when swimming. There is always a rip or 2.
