Kioloa Beach

📖 About Kioloa Beach

Avenue Beach (NSW 494) continue south of the boundary wave-washed rocks for 800 m to the low Butlers Point directly inshore of Belowla Island. It is backed by a densely vegetated foredune that extends to the main road and Butlers Creek in the south. The creek crosses the beach against the point, with the best access at the creek mouth. Waves average 1 m in the north decreasing slightly to the south, and usually maintain a wide low tide bar, cut by rips at either end and in the centre during higher waves (Fig. 4.362). Kioloa Beach (NSW 495) curves to the south of Butlers Point for 650 m swinging round to face north against the southern rocks. It is backed by a vegetated foredune then large caravan park that extends 400 m down the beach to a small creek. There is access from the caravan park and the large southern car park. An attached bar runs the full length of the beach, with rips only forming during high waves, particularly against the rocks. In the southern corner the bar disappears and the beach is steep and reflective; and waves are usually low enough for fishers to launch their boats from the beach or from the adjoining boat ramp. Tucked in between southern rocks and boat ramp and the base of O'Hara Head is a coarse shelly 25 m long beach (NSW 496) with a steep reflective beach face, bordered by rocks and with rock reefs exposed off the beach at low tide.
