80 Mile Beach

After a hard slog in the Pilbara, and Pt Hedland, we thought it was time for a bit of a break,
and do some fishing.
 (sounding a bit too much like Russell Coight!)

So we looked for a place on the coast, stumbled across The 80 mile beach caravan park, what a Gem!
The park is on the beach half way between Pt Hedland and Broom, about 10k of dirt rd in off the main highway.




The tide here is about 6 meters, so goes out about 1.6 Km at low tide, the only time the fishing was any good was at high tide.
While we were here, you could go out at midday for a couple of  hours or alternatively midnight, and spend the rest of the day relaxing.

There were plenty of fish being caught, but not by us, we were completely out fished by a 4 year old girl, with her family next to us on the beach, she even caught this small shark!

We went home empty handed, but a fantastic spot, you could easily spend a few days/weeks here.

Contemplating what we were doing wrong!
