Heading off to Jurien tomorrow morning and wondering where to camp for free on the beach, and if possible directions on how to get there from Jurien (google maps?)

Cheers :D

The shire of dandarragan have no free camping areas and year wide fire bans, caravan parks is all there is "legally"

Anybody know anywhere else up there that I can have a camp fire and not get hassled by the ranger?

Unless you are on private land you may well get hassled and as prev mentioned AFAIK fires are prohibited without a permit.

Why not camp at Sandy Cape?... I quite like the spot actually... costs a couple of bucks but plenty of tracks to explore and good fishing most times

Dandaragan shire is probably Australia's most unfriendly to free campers. They have active rangers who patrol, I was informed they work in conjunction with the caravan parks.
