Back Beach (Robe) is located outside the Robe settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Back Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

Peter made it clear from the beginning that we would be learning a lot and having a great time - and we definitely did both. He was an excellent guide, the places we visited were amazing, and we were grateful for the thorough guidance on navigating various landscapes. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and Peter is a great guy as well.

I have mixed feelings about this beach. It's a great spot to bring kids and take sunset photos, but we ended up getting our 4x4 stuck for hours (thankfully during low tide). Overall, it's a wonderful place, just had a rough experience.
