About this place

Four Mile Beach stretches from Culham Inlet to Barrens Beach. Along the way there is a lovely picnic area overlooking soft white sand and the deep blue of the vast Southern Ocean. The picnic area is just a 200m walk along a formed path from Four Mile Campground. This is a convenient place to camp when visiting East Mount Barren, Barrens Beach, Mylies Beach and West Beach.
