At the southern end of the Nambucca Valley, Scotts Head is an idyllic place for families to visit. The sands of Main Beach stretch for miles to the north making it the perfect place to enjoy a solitary walk, build a sandcastle, paddle in clear water or run across sand so clean it squeaks beneath your feet. While the gentle waves are perfect for young children, a variety of surf breaks make it a popular spot for all surfers. This beach is patrolled daily during summer holidays and at weekends from October to Easter.
A very well equipped recreation and camping reserve adjoins this beach - facilities are top quality. Featuring free gas barbecues, modern amenities blocks, plenty of fresh water, and picnic tables - some of these are undercover so that you can picnic even on rainy days.
Don't miss the wonderful mosaic art Whale Table picnic table at the foot of the steps to the lookout by the Surf Club.
This is a hidden gem and we loved it. The rock pools were so much fun to explore and the water was lovely.
My kids found lots of sea shells!

Nice little beach to take doggo for a stroll (before 8:30 and after 5). Views around the headland are spectacular.

Whole beach to ourselves most of the time, and that during Easter weekend. Good surf, close to parking lot and facilities.

Worth a visit! Good spot to swim, with breathtaking views. You can walk to the top and enjoy the panoramic view of the ocean and the waves crashing over the rocks. There were lifeguards as well on the day we went.
