Off the Shark Bay Rd. A steep sandy track leads out onto the top of the hill for sweeping views of the inlet. The waders use the inlet at low tide during their time here. There’s a row of mangroves on the shore and the sand dune has light shrubs.

Camp rating 8 It costs to stay at this beautiful little spot (fees are payable in Denham) but there are no facilities, so as usual it’s not a fair price
