Do the Kangaroos go surfing at Pebbly Beach?
Pebbly Beach is famous for being the home of the “surfing kangaroos” (a myth arising from a photograph of a kangaroo in the low surf – probably chased there by a dog). It is always amusing to hear of a group of tourists going to Pebbly Beach to photograph the “surfing kangaroos!”
If you want to photograph kangaroos (and a wide variety of birdlife), Durras Beach also has its own “beach kangaroos” as does Depot Beach. Just with less tourists chasing them for a photo.
Pebbly Beach is definitely worthwhile visiting and this is why so many tourists go there. However, many travellers prefer to base themselves at Durras North – like the locals do. But if you do decide to stay at Durras North…..Shhh…..It’s a secret!
