Description

Carrickalinga beach lies immediately north of the low Haycock Point and runs north for 1.4 kilometres to 50 metre high Carrickalinga Head. A 50 metre wide foreshore reserve, road and three rows of houses back the beach. The road terminates at a car park and a reserve is on the slopes of the head. Carrickalinga creek drains across the southern end of the beach. Between Haycock Point and the car park is a relatively safe sandy beach, while on the point and north of the car park rock reefs front the beach. Carrickalinga is a swimming beach and is relatively safe under normal conditions.
