Cape Wirrawoi (Wirrwawuy)

Our favourite campsite on our trip to Nhulunbuy, and one of the best we have stayed at in the NT!

Beautiful location, great and fun drive in along the dunes and beaches (need a 4WD), limited number of people (you need a permit for camping or day use).

Explore a variety of the beaches; Oyster Beach, Cave Beach (these are a right turn, campground is a left turn up the small peninsula) and those you drive along to access the campsites.

All of the campsites are large and secluded from each other (3 and 4 are the closest together, you can see the other campsite). We stayed at Campsite 4 and loved the view.

We were told that Campsite 3 was the penthouse with the best views (it is next to Campsite 4, on the corner with views over both beaches), but Campsite 4 goes right down to the beach (Campsite 3 is consistently higher up); we would choose Campsite 4 again in the future.

There are wooden poles across the front of the campsites, on Campsite 4 we were able to drive our Prado in-between two poles; this allowed us to put up our shade for the few days we camped here, and gave us privacy from Campsite 3.

This is an incredible spot! The views are phenomenal. Camp for a few days and relax, walk along the beaches, fish, explore the 4WD tracks, swim in the shallows (the water is so clear). Such a beautiful place.

Please spare the time to collect some rubbish on your trip, due to the wind the beaches collect a lot of rubbish, the rangers work hard to clean up, but the little we can do will help.
