Shelley Head is a rewarding stop on the Yuraygir coastal walk, reached after a walk of roughly 6–7km rather than a drive to your site. Shelley Caves and Little Shelley Beach are close enough to shape a full day by the coast.
Swim, fish or continue along the walking route before settling in for a quiet night. Spring brings coastal wildflowers to the surrounding bush, adding colour to an already memorable stretch of shoreline.
