Marfells Beach is a remote and lesser-known place to camp and explore. Access is off State Highway 1 along Marfells Beach Road. Drive past the east side of Lake Grassmere towards the southeast end of Clifford Bay. The area in front of the DOC campground is a sandy surf beach.
Heading east towards Mussel Point, the beach changes to a series of stony and rocky platforms below a cliff. The most interesting features are the rock pools and the coating of bright red seaweed that is exposed as the tide goes out.
The sealed road runs out about halfway along the beach. There is a 4WD / walking track that continues over the rocky section, below the cliff to Mussel Point. The track is just above the high tide line. You can continue along the next beach to Cape Campbell and its lighthouse by foot or 4WD (at low tide). Allow around 5 to 6 hours to walk to Cape Campbell and back from the end of the sealed road.
