Blueys Beach is a beach and locality in the Pacific Palms area of New South Wales, Australia. It got its name from a cow that fell off of a cliff.[1]
Background
[edit]The beach stretches for 900 metres (3,000 ft) and is flanked by headland on either end. The beach is backed by 216 metres (709 ft) of hilly slopes filled with vegetation and can only be accessed by foot. It is a popular tourist attraction, with thousands flocking to the area during Christmas. Although un-patrolled, few drownings have been recorded at the beach. It is extremely dangerous with powerful undercurrents and regular rescues. High swells and rough surf are common at times and it is regarded as the best surf beach in the area with usually consistent swell for advanced and knowledgable surfers. There are also other beaches nearby such as Boomerang Beach, New South Wales and Elizabeth Beach, New South Wales which is safer and patrolled.
