A stunning place that you’ve gotta add to your itinerary if you’re wandering up through the Gulf and the Kimberley. It’s about 75km north-west of Darwin, head out through Howard Springs and keep following the road til it turns to dirt, then keep following all the way to the end. Be warned that it’s a very popular spot with the locals and on weekends is full of quad bikes, so mid week is best. If you’re keen to do a little bit of exploring, there’s an old abandoned jail farm up in the scrub behind the beach at the very northern end that’s bloody interesting to check out.

From surfing to fishing and even bird watching, Cloudy Bay is full of things to do – oh, and did we mention the tough 4WDing in the area? What’s really special is when you sit on the beach and look south, you’re looking out at unbroken ocean all the way to Antarctica.

BONUS BEACHES TO ROLL OUT A SWAG

TEEWAH BEACH, QLD

GPS: 26°05’15″S 153°07’10″E

ELIM BEACH, QLD

GPS: 15°15’43″S 145°16’57″E
Queensland’s Far North is without a doubt a 4WDing and camping Mecca, and Elim Beach is no exception. With nearby tracks that haven’t been driven in years and pristine coastal camping, you’ll wonder why you haven’t heard of this place before.

BLACKSMITH’S BEACH, NSW

CHILI BEACH, QLD

GPS: 12°37’52″S 143°25’37″E
Chili Beach isn’t exactly the hardest spot to get to – it’s almost all high-range dirt with a few slow jump-ups – but the fact it’s about a two hour drive east of the PDR means not everyone checks it out. Campsite 8 is the pick of the litter as it’s nicely sheltered – check the map as some are more open than others.

NORTH WEST POINT, MORETON ISLAND, QLD

GPS: 27°02’46″S 153°22’59″E
Everyone always misses North West Point and jumps straight onto the likes of Ben-ewa, Comboyuro Point and other proper facilitated camps sites, but the thing is this one is the best! Just 30m from the beach with cracking views that just can’t be beat!
