Things to Do
Beaches & Surfing
For those who want to explore the many beaches Wooli has to offer, take a walk to The Point, Wooli's most southern beach. Patrolled by lifeguards during school holidays, a walk and a swim at The Point is a popular daily ritual. The conditions are best in a southerly breeze, as it is protected by the breakwater.
For those looking to go off the beaten track, head to Wilson's Headland. At the opposite end of the Wooli Beach to The Point, this beach can be reached by 4WD beach access, or via the Diggers' Camp Road through the national park. This beach offers spectacular views of the coastline and the Solitary Islands, with crystal clear waters and regular dolphin sightings. Head to Wilson's in a northerly wind.
The beach at Diggers' Camp is secluded as it is bordered on the land side by a steep wooded cliff. The tidal rockpools offer a perfect haven for protected swimming, with marine flora and fauna abundant at low tide. Similarly to The Point, for best conditions head to Diggers' in a southerly breeze.
Yuraygir Coastal Walks
This popular walk extends from Angourie in the north to Red Rock in the south, and spans over 65km of coastal and beach track. Wooli is ideally located within range of the Wilson's Headland to Diggers' Camp walk, and has access to the final section of coast from Wooli to Red Rock. The Wilson's Headland walk to Diggers' Camp takes approximate 40 minutes, passing rocky bays, exposed clifftops, and native Australian woodland.

OTHER ACTIVITIES & SERVICES
Deep sea fishing, snorkelling and diving off the Solitary Islands are popular with holidaymakers. Located 13kms off the coast, the Solitary Islands are home to many marine animals and sea birds. In the town itself, for the active, tennis courts are available for hire, and designated bike and pedestrian paths allow for a beautiful ride or run up to the mouth of the river. In contrast, the river mouth is a very popular fishing spot, with the changing of the tides bringing numerous species of fish into the river, and the Wooli Lawn Bowls Club is a great leisurely activity for those looking to relax.
For those looking for a serious workout, a run up the sand hill will tax even the fittest athlete. With the peak at around 50m above sea level, those who make the climb are provided with remarkable views of the Solitary Islands and the sparkling, crystal Pacific Ocean beyond.
For a meal out or a social occasion, the Wooli Hotel and the Wooli Bowls and Recreation Club provide bars and excellent food. Casual take-away food is available from the service station/general store, and great fish and chips from the Wooli Oyster Supply.
