BALGAL BEACH PARK

Public BBQ

Balgal Beach Campsite is a compact but well-equipped site, boasting clean facilities, including toilets, and a playground for children. There are fitness areas for adults, and it's a dog-friendly location, provided pets are kept on a leash. This campsite is also located right by the beach, which offers beautiful views and the sound of the ocean to lull campers to sleep. However, it's noted that the beach is often filled with washed-up coral and shells, making the sand quite gritty. One potential drawback is the reported presence of sandflies and mosquitoes, particularly at dusk and dawn. The campsite also has a netted swimming enclosure and a top-notch playground. Moreover, campers can enjoy good fishing opportunities and a nearby jetty. Despite being free, it's crucial to book with the local council, as sites are limited. Overall, it's a great place to unwind, with the main negatives being occasional crowding and an abundance of midges.
