Dunbogan Beach is a long, undeveloped stretch of coastline extending for 9.3 kilometers between Camden Head and Diamond Head in New South Wales. The beach presents a straight shoreline with a natural foredune running its length. For paddlers launching from shore, the primary access point is a small car park at the end of Beach Street in Dunbogan, though it is suitable for only about half a dozen vehicles and has insufficient space for larger vans to turn around. The beach is pleasant and undeveloped, requiring a carry from the parking area to the water's edge. The ocean faces the Tasman Sea, and the beach receives waves averaging 1.6 meters in height, which maintain a continuous double bar system with frequent rips spaced every 300-400 meters along the inner bar. Permanent rips exist against both Camden Head and Diamond Head. This surf and rip structure constitutes a significant hazard, and there are no surf life saving services provided for this beach. The general hazard rating is 6 out of 10. The southern end of the beach, near Diamond Head, lies within Crowdy Bay National Park, and car access is possible at several picnic areas there, including Blackbutts, Cheese Tree, and Geebung, as well as at the Diamond Head Rest Area camping ground. With a beach permit and favorable tides, it is possible to drive a 4WD vehicle onto the beach itself for access. The scenic backdrop includes views across the crescent of the beach to North Brother Mountain. The area is noted for wildlife, including the potential to see resident dolphins in the nearby Camden Haven River, and migrating whales from the coast.
