The Dudley beach coastline is unspoiled by houses or roads with bush land surrounding the entire beach. This makes it a quiet, mostly locals-only beach. It is not patrolled, so be careful if there is rough surf.
Beautiful sandy beach with rock pools to explore at either end. See fossils, coal seams in the cliffs. Surrounded by National Park (unpatrolled).
Dudley Beach (NSW 249) is located on the southern side of Little Redhead Point and trends due southwest for 1.3 km, to the beginning of a high rocky section of coast. The suburb of Dudley is located on the 100 m high clifftop 1 km south of each. Attempts to build a road to the beach were made early last century when Dudley was a large coal mining town but with no beach access. In 1930 a surf club known as Dudley-Whitebridge was formed to patrol the beach. However no road came and the club ceased in 1935. A road does now lead to the beach with two parking areas in the centre of the beach, one located for viewing, the other for beach access. The beach faces southeast, receives high waves averaging 1.6 m and has a well developed bar and rips system, usually consisting of 4-5 beach rips and two strong permanent rips against the rocks. Two small creeks cross the beach toward each end.
