Wooli Beach
Highlights
Overview
Wooli is a coastal village like no other—a three-kilometre-long stretch of land with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the stunning Wooli Wooli River on the other. This is a beach town with saltwater in its veins.
This section of coastline forms the northern end of the Solitary Islands Marine Park, which protects the estuaries, beaches, and islands (from Sandon River to Coffs Harbour), making it a haven for marine life and a dream for nature lovers. Wooli Beach stretches north to Wilson’s Head and is 4WD accessible.
The beach meets the break wall, where the Wooli Wooli River flows out to sea, and this southern corner is where the action happens—fishing off the wall, surfing the beach breaks, 4WD access, Marine Rescue HQ, and boats crossing the bar.
Wooli Beach is patrolled during the summer months, offering a popular spot for swimming. However, ocean conditions can change, so caution is always advised. Check the surf, follow local advice, and swim between the flags when lifeguards are on duty. Beachside amenities are close by, making it easy to spend the whole day soaking up the coastal charm.
