If you’re up for a splash of adventure, Elliott Heads Rock Pools is the perfect spot for you. I actually stumbled upon these incredible pools by accident while exploring the beach, and I was totally amazed by their beauty. The crystal-clear water is packed with marine life—think starfish, quirky crabs, and even the occasional sea anemone showing off its little dance moves. Whether you’re keen for a swim or just enjoying the view, there’s so much to see and be entertained by.

Make sure to plan your visit around low tide to catch the rock pools at their prime. After you’ve explored, take some time to chill at Elliott Heads Beach. The golden sand is perfect for soaking up the sun or splashing in the waves. The beach has this really laid-back, welcoming vibe, and with a campsite right next to it, you’ll probably run into other travelers who are just as stoked about being in nature as you are.
