Kinkuna Beach Permit Camping, Fishing, Fire, Dogs, Tides Times Bundaberg Qld

January 15, 2021

Me again,

I posted earlier in the week about our stay at Cania Gorge, the first of 3 stops for our family holiday. 

Now we’ve made our way across to the Bundaberg coast line to Kinkuna Beach. One word to describe this place = paradise!! 3 nights just isn’t enough! 

It is a bush camp with 4wd access only; the sand is very soft and thick so be sure to let your tyres down. You have to be fully self sufficient as there is no power, water or amenities. There is phone service on the beach and a little corner store in Elliot Heads approx 40mins away if needed. My husband caught a few fish off the beach, and if it wasn’t so windy he would have put the little boat in to go a bit further off shore.

We absolutely loved it here! The kids had a ball! Hot tip if you do take kids along, take some swing accessories (got ours from Bunnings) as there are plenty of perfect trees to hang them from! 

We could be as noisy as we wanted as each camp site is easily 100m apart. You aren’t allocated a site when you book through the National Parks website, you just drive along until you find a spot to stop. 

The only negative I have to report is people before us were unkind enough to leave broken glass bottles in the sand where they’ve had fires, so be sure to keep an eye out and thongs on while you get to know your space. 

We’re so glad we went for a drive on our last day (wish we did it sooner as we would have made use of it more) as at the end of the camping zone on low tide there is a gorgeous area to swim in. Crystal clear water with lots of hollowed out holes to sit in and enjoy. Tried flicking a line here too but no luck.  

It is extremely hard for us to leave this spot, and now that we know how amazing it is we will absolutely be booking a longer stay next time! This will definitely be our annual family holiday destination from now on!! 

Next stop, Cobb and Co near Gympie as we head back down for home.

In addition, I’m presuming no dogs allowed? no, national park land.
