A well-known surfing beach near Old Bar The adjacent beaches of Wallabi Point Beach and Saltwater Beach are separated by Saltwater Point within Saltwater National Park. These two beaches, just south of Old Bar, are perfect for surfing enthusiasts and attract thousands of tourists every year who are in search the perfect wave. These beaches are also great for families as there is a warm, shallow saltwater lagoon nestled against the picnic reserve, providing excellent swimming opportunities. For those with a love of fishing you won’t be disappointed as there is a direct ocean boat launch in this area.

Wallabi Beach has waves on most days at the northern end, a point break at the south (saltwater NP end ) if the conditions are right, mostly suit long boarders as fat green waves over a rocky bottom but when it's pumping, boardriders are all over it. The beach has boulders stones that get exposed after stormy seas. In February look out for bronze whaler sharks. The North part can get shallow especially at low tide. Note,

Apparently good surfing but the beach is small for a walk and stunk like a swamp on the day i visited so would not recommend for a family outing
