One of several beaches with a campsite in the southern section of Wilsons Promontory National Park, this is arguably the most spectacular of them all… The camping area (which must be booked) is just behind the beach, and has water (from a creek), toilets and some picnic tables.

The 300m long Little Waterloo Bay beach faces east and has white quartz sand and crystal blue water. It’s generally fairly safe for swimming, with low waves.
