Submarine Beach (also Fiona beach, NSW 220) faces the southeast and extends for 8.8 km from Yagon Gibber to Big Gibber Headland. Beyond the old fishing shacks called Middle Camp it is known as Fiona Beach. The beach lies entirely within the National Park and access is restricted to the northern Yagon car park, accessed by a 4WD track from Seal Rocks. Other tracks reach the beach at Middle Camp and behind Big Gibber, however they are not maintained and are in a poor state and 4WDs are not permitted on the beach. If you can get to Submarine you will find a long high energy beach, backed by extensive, largely vegetated dunes, which extend several kilometre inland rising to heights of 120 m, the highest in NSW. The surf contains two bars, an inner bar usually attached and cut by rips, and an outer beyond the deep trough which is cut by large, strong rips every 400-500 m (Fig. 4.123), in fact the biggest beach rips on the east coast. Finally strong, permanent rips flow out against both gibbers or headlands. read more
