What to do in Pebbly Beach

What you see here in Pebbly Beach is the Eastern Grey Kangaroo, as the iconic red one – the largest of all kangaroos and the symbol of Australia – is only found across mainland desert and arid areas. Hilarious selfies with roos are guaranteed!

Pebbly campground facilities are bbqs, a carpark, drinking water, showers and toilets. Safe and quiet, this campground is an awesome place for families and kids.
