Sisters Beach

Sisters Beach is quite literally at your doorstep! And the best part? Not many people know about this little gem.

The stunning crystal blue water overlooking Sisters Island is picturesque on a beautiful sunny day.

Spend your day relaxing in one of our many seating nooks, practicing yoga and meditation or tanning on the day bed.

To have a great day you don't even need to leave the shack! We recommend a morning sunrise walk along the beach and watch the magical colours dancing over the ocean and Sisters Island. If you're not a morning person, that's okay, wake up for sunrise in the comfort of your bed and then hit the snooze button.

Lake Llewellyn

This beautiful lake tracks down to the ocean right past Arku, creating a little river. In the summer months you will find families setting up for a beach picnic around the river mouth. A bridge spanning over a small lake Kayaking down stream towards the lake is a fun activity as well as in the ocean on a calm day. Take the bridge over the river towards the car park and walk down the street to the local cafe Sisters Beach General Store & Cafe for a coffee.

Hidden Gems

Sisters Beach is the main swimming spot in the area. If you are seeking some snorkelling spots then head toward Postmans Track, along the dirt road and through the National Park. All along this track, among the trees are small, secret sandy beaches with crystal blue water to enjoy, and a rocky swimming hole.

If you launch yourself from the boat ramp and fancy a dive, you may even find a ship wreck or two!
