Moonee Beach, Coastal beach in Lake Macquarie, Australia
Moonee Beach is a coastal beach on the Pacific coast in Lake Macquarie, where Moonee Creek meets the ocean and creates different water environments. The shore has light sand and is bordered by wooded areas that extend down to the waterline.
The area around this beach was established in the 1870s during the development of New South Wales' Mid North Coast region. At that time, coastal settlement increased and transformed how the land was used and what the landscape looked like.
The beach sits on Gumbaynggirr country, and visitors can learn about Aboriginal connections to the area through activities and programs offered locally. The community actively maintains these links through regular events and educational opportunities.
The nearest accommodation is Reflections Holiday Park right at the beach with powered sites, unpowered camping, and cabin options. The beach is easy to reach and good for water activities, so bring whatever gear and supplies match what you plan to do.
The beach is known for white-bellied sea eagles, ospreys, and brahminy kites that hunt regularly over the shore. During certain times of the year, whales can be spotted in the offshore waters as they pass through.
