Drive carefully on Haycock Road as it can be busy and winding, with native animals present. The road is unsealed and can be extremely potholed and corrugated, but it was recently graded and smoothed in late March 2022. Be cautious of oncoming traffic and stick to a speed limit of 40km/hr while enjoying the drive through the National Park. Be mindful of slippery conditions after rain and take care on this road. The walking track down to Barmouth Beach is unpaved, unmaintained, and potentially dangerous for those with walking difficulties. There is no wheelchair access and the track is mildly steep. Despite the challenges, the beach itself is beautiful with a sandy and scenic location. You can swim, explore, sunbathe, take photographs, and simply enjoy the surroundings. Just remember to take care and stay safe while visiting.

The parking lot for Barmouth Beach is a bit rough, but the beach itself is charming with clean water and beautiful views. The waves are gentle, making it a great spot for families with young kids. It's a short 10-minute drive along a gravel road to reach the beach, which is manageable for most vehicles. If you're looking for a quieter beach experience, this is worth a visit. The parking lot may be dirt, but it gets the job done.

The beach across from the Pambula Rivermouth is beautiful. While there aren't usually big waves, the water is clean and invigorating. Dolphins can be spotted swimming near the shore, and we enjoy snorkeling by the rocks. The path to the beach is a bit steep and uneven, making it difficult for wheelchairs or strollers to access. A simple 3 km walk from the carpark to Haycock Point is a nice option for a stroll.
