There can be water available in the wet at Miranda creek which is just near the beach, and camp site. Miranda creek can be brackish at high tide it connects with the ocean. Collect water up streem away from the beach and treat/filter the water. Overnight camping is permitted for two consecutive nights only at each of the camp areas throughout the year. Maximum group size is six people. Pets are not permitted. An easily navigable 3km walk will take you over the headland to the next campsite along this trail at Johnny Souey Cove. At the start of the walk you must cross Miranda creek. Leave preferably at low tide, to cross Miranda creek. At high tide and between tides, Miranda creek can have a strong flow and can require you to swim across, making crossing more difficult.
