Oberon Bay contains two beaches: the main 2 km long, west facing Oberon Bay and the smaller, 250 m long, south-west facing Little Oberon Bay. Both beaches can be reached on the walking track from Tidal River. A popular camping area is located next to a small creek that crosses the southern half of the beach. Oberon Bay Beach is exposed to strong westerly winds, which have built sand dunes extending up to 3 km inland. Two large sand blowouts are presently active, while Growler Creek flows out across the northern end of the beach. Waves are only moderate, averaging less than 1.5 m, being reduced somewhat by the Glennie Group of islands 10 km offshore. The beach is wide and low, with a usually wide, shallow, continuous surf zone, but only occasional rips. read more
