Seatons Cove Campground

There are actually two cosy corners linking this stretch of white sand, nestled beneath protective rocky points at each end of the 80-metre beach. Park your car at either end and walk at your leisure, dip your toes in the water or simply curl up on your towel and enjoy the scenery!

Another delightful beach for taking long, leisurely walks and watching the waves roll in. Relax and drink in the incredible views in between exploring, beachcombing and general meandering. Surf fishing is common here, but be careful swimming as it is very rough and has strong currents. Fantastic sunrises along this stretch of beach can be seen here.

The East Coast Whale Trail is a series of coastal stops you can visit with information signs about the whales and where you have a good chance of seeing them. There are 14 trail sites scattered all along the coast from The Gardens in the larapuna/Bay of Fires area near St Helens in the north to Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula. At each East Coast Whale Trail site, you will find a sign with information and stories about them and big sea views to search for signs of whales. There are binoculars installed at two of the Trail sites to help you get a closer view Whales can throw their fins and flukes, or even their bodies, high out of the water, making great explosions of foam on the sea surface than can be seen from far away. Sometimes they come within a few hundred metres to shore.
