Eighty Mile Beach - 23rd April

We continued our drive from Port Hedland towards Broome and decided to break our journey at Eighty Mile Beach which is approx half way - about 300km. The caravan site is down a non tarmac road which means it is very red and very bumpy if only for 9km.  The reward at the end was fabulous with a lovely green site at the back of a huge (presumably 80 mile beach). Most campers are now either Australian 'grey nomads' or European tourists that we keep meeting time and again.  As you can see from the photo the sea goes a long way out and the beach is very popular for fishing and driving along!   Luckily we watched another fabulous sunset. As shown on the second photo parts of the beach also contain many hundreds of shells and there are strict limits on how many you can remove.
