Ten Mile Beach is a long, open coastline beach forming part of the Bundjalung National Park in the Clarence Valley. It is a stunning and untamed stretch of sand backed by dunes and woodland. The beach is accessible for paddlers launching from shore, with a primary access point being Shark Bay picnic area in the southern stretches of the national park. This area provides a carpark and picnic facilities as a base. Vehicles, specifically 4WDs, are permitted to drive onto the sand at Ten Mile Beach, but only at low tide and with a required council permit. This indicates that tide levels critically affect the beach launch area, potentially creating vehicle traffic and altering the carry distance to the water. The beach faces the open ocean, making it exposed to southerly swells and wind. A notable paddling route begins here, as Jerusalem Creek flows through tea-tree and paperbark-lined banks before meeting the ocean at Ten Mile Beach. This specific paddle route covers 9 kilometres return, offering a journey from the ocean estuary into a creek environment. The broader area provides opportunities for walking along the beach and for canoeing along other nearby waterways like Evans River. The beach's location within Bundjalung National Park suggests a natural, secluded vibe with potential for wildlife viewing, including whale spotting from nearby lookouts during migration seasons.
