Kelly Beach in Bargara is a slice of paradise where relaxation meets the rhythmic lull of the ocean waves. It’s a place to unwind, breathe in the salty air, and let the worries of the world dissipate. The beach invites you to stretch out on the sand, close your eyes, and listen to the symphony of seagulls and gentle waves. The friendly atmosphere envelops you as soon as you step onto the brownish golden sands. The shallow beaches provide a safe haven for little ones to splash and explore. Swings, slides, and climbing frames beckon the young adventurers. Kudos to the local council! They’ve nurtured Kelly Beach with love and diligence. The well-maintained facilities, clean surroundings, and thoughtful amenities speak volumes. It’s evident that they prioritize the community’s well-being and the preservation of this coastal gem. Whether you’re a sun seeker, a sandcastle architect, or simply someone seeking solace by the water, Kelly Beach would be the place for you.

Great sandy beach in Bargara. We rented an Airbnb only 30 meters from the beach and walked up and down the beach every morning and evening. We had some amazing sunrice overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Very ordinary brown sand beach with extremely variable tides. Evidence of sand loss from past storms which has undercut trees and exposed more rocks.

Clean sand, lifeguards, shark nets and clean water. If that wasn't enough, the scenery is beautiful too!
