Great spot for dogs to exercise. Beautiful beach to walk along with close proximity to caravan park. Need to be careful swimming as big waves and rips.

Great beach for walking on with an inlet at one end. The other end has some picturesque rock formations to walk around. Not the best beach for swimming in if you are not a strong swimmer.

Nice beach to walk on, wasn't sure if the water was swimmable after watching this at the rocky point to the North.

We had a great two-day getaway in Mystery Bay and discovered Handkerchief Beach. It was beautiful and peaceful, and my partner loved it! It’s a perfect spot to relax by the water. We can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!

A surprisingly beautiful beach with plenty to explore at either end. Sunrises were especially spectacular and there’s a hidden walk called Plover’s Lane at the southern end. The beach is very accessible with many access points along a sealed, though still quite rough, road.
