NRMA Woodgate Beach Holiday Park: Absolute Beachfront Bliss

Discover a slice of coastal paradise at NRMA Woodgate Beach Holiday Park, a serene sanctuary where the bush meets the sea. Situated directly on the Esplanade with absolute beachfront access, this park offers an unparalleled holiday experience in the tranquil town of Woodgate. Stretching along a magnificent 16-kilometre sweep of safe, protected beach, it provides the perfect setting for those looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories. The park is uniquely positioned, bordered by the stunning Burrum Coast National Park on one side and the calm, turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean on the other. This exceptional location attracts not only holidaymakers but also an abundance of local wildlife, including kangaroos that often graze peacefully throughout the park grounds, adding a touch of classic Australiana to your stay.

Catering to all types of travellers, the park features a wide array of accommodation, from spacious powered and unpowered sites for caravans and campers to modern villas and cabins. The sites are well-maintained, offering shady, grassy spots where you can set up your home away from home just steps from the sand. The facilities are top-notch, as expected from an NRMA park, including a swimming pool, a well-equipped camp kitchen, barbecue areas, and clean amenity blocks, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. Beyond the park’s boundaries, the town of Woodgate invites exploration. Go for a long walk along the pristine beach, try your luck with a spot of fishing, or explore the walking trails of the adjacent national park. For a holiday that perfectly balances relaxation with gentle adventure in a breathtaking natural environment, NRMA Woodgate Beach Holiday Park is an idyllic choice.
