Blueys Beach Famed for being the beach which guarantees a good wave, Blueys is undoubtedly a favourite with surf enthusiasts and those who enjoy a stretch of secluded sand with incredible views. Said to have gained its unusual name due to a cattle mishap enroute to Yarric Mountain (the hill on the southern end of Blueys Beach), locals proudly proclaim this to be one of the worlds finest beaches. Offering protected corners for those who want to watch the swell from afar, this lush stretch of coastline is framed by forest-covered headlands and nestled between Sandbar Beach to the south, and Boomerang Beach to the north. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37720000/37713100/37713053/80568642.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### All 2 Heavenly - Blueys Beach Blueys Beach - Pool - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.2 Wonderful 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=37713053&PinnedHotelID=37713053&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66150000/66143400/66143358/644ab480.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Huey's Lookout - beachfront spacious pet friendly home Blueys Beach - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=66143358&PinnedHotelID=66143358&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100950000/100943600/100943545/92125598.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coastal Cove - stunning views across Sandbar View Smiths Lake - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=100943545&PinnedHotelID=100943545&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119050000/119048100/119048003/2a354bf2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heron House - beachfront @ Blueys Beach Blueys Beach - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=119048003&PinnedHotelID=119048003&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99480000/99470400/99470334/20e48326.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Waterfront property on Wallis Private Island Forster w/ fishing, hiking Wallis Lake - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer £3,697 includes taxes & fees 12 Oct - 13 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=99470334&PinnedHotelID=99470334&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75780000/75773700/75773618/b2103984.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aiyana.. coastal indulgence at Blueys Beach!
