Things to see and do
Swimming
* The broad sandy open beaches of Venus Bay are popular for swimming and surfing. Swimmers must be careful as strong currents and rips occur along this section of the coast. Venus Bay No. 1 beach is patrolled by surf lifesavers during the summer months
* The more sheltered coves and beaches at Walkerville and Waratah Bay are also suitable for swimming
Camping
* Camping is permitted in the park at Bear Gully where shady campsites are set amongst tall banksias. Campers must be self sufficient and bring their own firewood and drinking water
* Camping facilities are also provided within the commercial caravan parks situated on the foreshore at Walkerville and Waratah Bay. A range of other accommodation is available in the neighbouring townships
