Swimcart Beach is a stunning beach located in the Southern Bay of Fires, approximately 15 minutes from St Helens. It is known for its breathtaking views and great walks. The beach is characterized by its soft sand, which is considered by many to be the softest they have ever seen. The water, while beautiful, can be quite chilly. The beach is also notable for its unique rocks.
The beach is adjacent to a free campsite, which is highly popular among visitors. The campsite is equipped with drop toilets, but does not have shower facilities, so visitors need to bring their own water. The campsite is pet-friendly and allows fires. However, it can get quite busy, especially during long weekends and holidays, so it is recommended to arrive early to secure a spot. The campsite allows for stays of up to four weeks.
Despite its popularity, the beach itself is often virtually empty, offering a peaceful and serene environment for visitors. However, it should be noted that the beach is not patrolled. The beach is also easily accessible, with a great location right on the beach.
Swimcart Beach amenities include toilet.
