BEACHES & NATURAL LANDSCAPES 

While in Carnarvon, you can head down to the Fascine Town Beach. It's a safe beach for kids especially; you can also swim to the pontoon in the Fascine and you can fish anywhere along the elegant crescent. Top spot to fish is off the Footbridge, known as the Tramway Bridge. If kite surfing is your jam, head to the end of the Pelican Point Road which is a popular spot for locals. 

BLUE LAGOON 

Miaboolya Beach, is 22km north of Carnarvon. This is the spot you'll find the locals crabbing, swimming and fishing. Miaboolya main creek is cut off from the ocean by a sand bar for months at a time, creating a coastal lagoon. If you've packed your rod, then you'll be glad to hear that this beach is known as a nursery for tailor. You're also likely to get lucky with catches of mangrove jack, western yellowfin bream, mulloway, dart and goldenline - as well as crustaceans such as shrimps and crabs. Miaboolya Beach is the only beach in the Coral Coast Region where clothes are optional (Yup, it's okay to go nudie). 

New Beach, Bush Bay, is 40km south of Carnarvon. It is partly unsealed road to access but it is fantastic fishing spot, camping is also permitted in this spot. Check out the video below with Destination WA host Carmen Braidwood, they stop in and check out this incredible beach.
