Located in the Cape Conran Coastal Park, Ocean Beach is a stunning location to take in the rugged coastline and is a great day visitor area for people to enjoy the beautiful coastline that looks out in the South Pacific Ocean. Access to the beach is from the walking track that leads from the carpark which is located off the Pearl Point Track Rd. Approximately 4.5km for the Bemm River township.
