Guide
Sealers Cove Camping Area is a bookable, walk-in campground beside the beach at the southern end of Sealers Cove on Wilsons Promontory. It is an overnight destination, not a drive-up beach stop: from Telegraph Saddle, the Grade 4 walk is 10 km and about three hours each way. The track winds through ancient rainforest and ferny gullies before reaching the cove.
The approach includes a creek crossing; plan to cross at low tide, as Parks Victoria recommends. Camping directly on the beach is prohibited, so use the designated campground. Nearly two kilometres of boardwalk were rebuilt after storm damage in 2021, keeping walkers above sensitive wetland along the way.
Book ahead and carry the required permit. Groups are limited to 12 and stays to two consecutive nights. Toilets are at the campground, but creek water needs treatment before drinking. Carry your food and overnight gear from the trailhead; there is a long walk back out.
