Gap Beach is located one kilometre to the south in Hat Head National Park and is surrounded by the Smoky Cape Range, with the slopes of 220 metre-high Little Smoky forming the northern headland.
Access is via hiking the Smoky Cape Track from Little Bay to the north or from Captain Cook’s Lookout at Smoky Cape.
The beach is 900 metres in length. The beach is exposed, with waves averaging 1.5 metre and dominated by rips across the inner and outer bars coupled with permanent rips against the headlands. Under high waves the beach is drained by one large mega rip, so beware.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
