While these spots can be accessed, do not attempt to drive down to the beach at several of these spots without a high clearance vehicle - preferably a 4x4. Nipi is referring to what are mostly a series of dirt tracks that are sometimes rather overgrown with vegetation.

The easiest to explain is the access to the Babylon area sites - it is just opposite Rosebud Drive. That access point is very easy on vehicles.

Conolly's Cove really is private property, unless you want to walk along the public right of way from the beach.

For Little Bluff and other spots to the weast of Barefoot Beach you are looking for some dirt tracks. These can be overgrown and difficult to spot.

There are a couple other spots, though I'm not sure which one is referred to as Iggy Pop's house.

For all Spotter's Bay sites you are going well off-road. Entrance is off Spotters Way which is a public dirt road. There is a track which parallels the shore. Entrance is from the eastern end and the track goes back almost all the way to Laughing Waters. 4x4 is preferred for these spots.

Thanks Drew.

4x4's may be preferred, but what the hey, it's a rental.:D

Remember rainy season... lest you cannot get yourself out of where you got in.

Low clearance cars are not an option for some of these tracks. They will bottom out.

Finally, the handy rental car insurance may not provide cover if you operate off paved roads.
 
Have been away in the Red Sea. Drew is right - you are basically looking for track or dirt road access. There is always space to park on the road if it's only a track. Iggy Pop's house is one of the big ones on the cliff between Anchor Point & Anchor Point.

How was the Red Sea??? Do you have a trip report posted anywhere?

Did you mean between Anchor Point & Anchor Point??
 
Sorry should read Iggy Pop's house is one of the big ones on the cliff between Anchor Point & the proposed Laughing Waters.
