π About Moonee Beach
Moonee Beach is a beautiful 1-kilometre stretch of sand within a coastal conservation area near Catherine Hill Bay, accessed via a gravel road past a historic coal mine and a 500-metre walk to the shoreline. Despite the industrial backdrop, the beach itself is a lovely natural spot with waves averaging 1.3 m, making it popular with experienced surfers, though topographic rips and reef breaks demand caution. The remote feel, minimal facilities, and conservation setting attract nature lovers and surfers looking to escape the crowds.
