Tea Tree Creek is close to the township of Flinders. There is a walking track that winds down through a shady Banksia Woodland to a set of stairs which lead down to the rocky shores. Fishing is a popular activity along the rocky shoreline, due to the gutters, rip holes and rocky reefs that provide refuge to the vast marine life. The rocky shoreline attracts visitors seeking to explore the rock pools or the rocky shore.

Hooded Plovers call the sand above high tide on this beach home, so it is important to follow all signage and keep off the habitat area for this magnificent but vulnerable beach-nesting bird. Snakes are also another creature that calls this area home, so please stay on the existing paths to avoid any unnecessary encounters.

Although beautiful, Tea Tree Creek is a dangerous swimming area with unpredictable rips, strong currents, rocky reefs, and large waves. The beach is unpatrolled with limited access for emergency services. Given the aforementioned hazards, swimming is not recommended.
