The changing face of Charlesworth Bay
Charlesworth Bay has been one of my long time favourite beaches, so I visit this beach every time I am in Coffs Harbour. I am always fascinated by the changes I see each time. Of course it is Mother Nature doing what she does naturally.
It is a small beach which has a relatively protected north east facing aspect and is only about 500 m in length.
Charlesworth Bay is rarely busy as most people would not know it exists. To access it, there is a beautiful tree canopied avenue leading down to the park and the beach.
There are picnic areas with free bbqs and facilities including outdoor showers. Often there are RV’s staying there overnight and although that is not permitted I am sure if they are quiet and respect the area no one bothers them. It is a perfect spot to stay over night as it is not far off the hwy, and yet so quiet and secluded.
It is a dog friendly beach however dogs must be kept on a leash. Consequently, you often see mostly locals there with their dogs
For swimming there is a section of the beach that has a small surf, good for body surfing or body boards although you will see the occasional surf board. There is anther small beach up the southern end by the “fisherman’s hut” which is quite private and easy to swim in. And, there are also the beautiful rock pools which are forever changing with the tides and weather.
If you are ever in the area, pop in, you will be pleased that you did

It never ceases to amaze me what ardent world travelers the Aussies are! They live in paradise yet seem to be incessantly wandering the Earth in search of, well, I’m not sure what! ;-)
Merry Christmas to you, Lyn. Enjoy your southsea holidays!
Thanks Deb. Yes we know what we have here and that is why we come home but we do love to travel. Many of us to Italy where it is so different. Merry Christmas to you
Beautiful beaches. Something us northern hemisphere residents don’t usually think of at Christmas like Aussies do – unless we are vacationing somewhere warm. (My daughter has lived in Australia for years and still thinks Christmas in the summer feels odd.)
Merry Christmas to you!
I have had 2 white Christmas and loved them. And. I have spent many Christmas days on the beach. Merry Christmas
