The best area to stay in Sandbar is near the main beach and the Sandbar Beach Holiday Park, as this offers the most convenient access to local activities and amenities.


This central area is where you'll find the Sandbar Cafe, the general store, and the surf school. It's a relaxed, coastal spot, with most accommodation options being holiday rentals or the park itself, all within a short stroll of the beach. The main road through this section provides easy access to the Mungo Brush National Park.


Families often find this area ideal due to its proximity to the beach, which is great for swimming and building sandcastles. The holiday park specifically caters to families with facilities like a swimming pool, children's play areas, and plenty of space for outdoor activities, making it easy to keep everyone entertained.


For couples looking for a peaceful escape, staying in a holiday rental slightly set back from the main beach area can offer more privacy.

The best time to go to Sandbar is during the shoulder seasons, specifically from late February to May and again from September to November.


During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather for outdoor activities without the peak crowds and higher prices of the summer holidays. The temperatures are generally mild, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the area, including the Sandbar Beach and the Myall Lakes National Park. You can enjoy long walks along the coast, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water.


Couples often find these times great for a relaxing getaway. The fewer visitors mean more tranquillity and easier access to popular spots. You can enjoy romantic strolls along the uncrowded beaches or a quiet dinner at a local establishment, all while benefiting from the comfortable climate.


For families, the shoulder seasons offer a great balance. The weather is still warm enough for children to enjoy swimming and playing on the beach, but the intense summer heat is absent, making outdoor adventures more comfortable.
