Description

CAMPING TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO COVID-19. OTHER FACILITIES ARE OPEN FOR PERMIT HOLDERS. --------- Access to the Lilley's Beach is from the Boyne Island Sewerage Treatment Plant via Handley Drive, Boyne Island. A copy of the map is shown below. Camping is only permitted in the enclosed area at the northern end of Lilley's Beach. The site is very basic and there are no facilities or rubbish bins - you must take all rubbish with you when you leave. Look for evidence of an existing campsite in preference to creating another. Select a sandy or hard surface. The impression you leave will be almost unnoticeable on this surface. The Lilley's Beach coastline extends approximately 7.1 kilometres and can be accessed by four wheel drive only. It is best to travel at low tide or within 2 hours either side of low tide. Driving on the sand dunes is strictly prohibited. Please note: the area is subject to tidal conditions. Ensure you refer to a tide timetable before going to the Lilley's Beach, as the area can become impassable at high tide. Stay out of the salt water and protect your vehicle. Permits for use of vehicles on Lilley's Beach can be purchased online by going to www.gladstone.qld.gov.au/onlineservices click on the Applications Icon. Once submitted, a copy of the permit is emailed almost instantly to the applicant. Be sure to use the correct email address. Lilley's Beach Vehicle permits can also be purchased in person at Calliope or Gladstone Council Administration Centre or the Boyne Tannum Community Centre. Strictly no fires! Please use a gas or kerosene stove. Beach fires are strictly prohibited. Lilley's Beach is a designated dog off-leash area, but your dog is required to be under effective voice command at all times. Generators are permitted and campers are asked to limit use to between 7am and 7pm.
