Bluff creek is a good option.

Bluff creek is a good option. Bornholm is a magic spot but i wouldnt recomend going there unless you have a decent rig and self recovery gear. The local farmer  makes a good living  pulling folks out with his tractor.

Bornholm is an awsome spot but as said you need a good rig dont bother attac
king it without lowering tyres to at least 14psi we had to air down
To 8psi to get out with an 80 series, also chayenes beach fishing
Off the rocks is quite good and a magical spot but cant drive on the beach but can drive right up to the rocks

I wouldn't go to bornholm unless there is 2 of you (2 cars), your car is lifted and you are pretty capable. It can be pretty hairy down there.

 

Nanarup is good

Mutton Bird Island is good

 

Bluff creek is awesome! 50kms east but the best fishing will be at this beach. Can get on at Cheynes and go around. If you can't get around the headland you need to go up over the dunes but it is worth it. Otherwise just go down bluff creek road (off south coast hwy).
