Sightseeing
The beach to North of Callala Bay Jetty is dog friendly (dogs must be leashed at all times) and makes for an excellent walk at all times of the day. This is not a surf beach and the water is usually calm which makes this perfect for relaxing swims with young children, or if you are after some exercise. As you walk north you will cross Boorawine Creek then Wowly Creek which are great places for the kids to explore and play.

Currarong is the smallest township in this guidebook and only has a couple of shops and a club. However, there is a lot to do here that makes it a must visit in my opinion. It has a surf beach as well as the quieter Abraham's Bosom Beach and rockpools. It is the entry point to Beecroft Peninsula with it's many walks and small beaches where you may find you have the whole beach to yourself. If you go on a walk, be sure to visit Gosangs Tunnel which is about 15m long and 1m high. If you crawl or waddle through it you will step out onto the tops of the sea cliffs which are a great place to whale watch (May to November).
