Nestled behind coastal dunes among tuckeroo and banksia trees, Mibanbah – Black Rocks Campground in Bundjalung National Park offers direct access to the wild Ten Mile Beach and the calm, tea-tree-lined waters of Jerusalem Creek. The shoreline here is a dynamic zone where the creek meets the ocean — great for swimming, kayak launching, and exploring the estuarine-marine transition. Snorkelers can explore the shallow inshore waters along the beach and creek mouth, watching for rays and schooling fish where freshwater meets saltwater.

Moderate risk: Rip currents at Ten Mile Beach
Ten Mile Beach is an open, exposed beach subject to strong rip currents that can quickly sweep swimmers offshore.
Moderate risk: Creek mouth tidal flow
Strong outgoing currents where Jerusalem Creek meets the ocean can be hazardous for swimmers and snorkelers near the river mouth.
Low risk: Marine stingers
Bluebottles and other jellyfish can be present in coastal waters during warmer months (November to April).
Low risk: Changing sand bars
The creek mouth and beach profile shift with weather and tide, creating unstable underwater terrain and unexpected drop-offs.
