its along drive around....so leave early and beat the high tide, drive back to the camp site on the side of high tide

Well got back tonight, and had a great time.

We drove north up the beach from Freshwater campground about two hours before high tide. We had to drive up the soft sand which was not much of a problem. The Wide Bay end of the Leisha track ended in water as the tide was already up. Us and quite a few others drove into the shallow sea water and straight out on to the beach. The beach was more soft sand. It was a beautiful calm spot for the kids to swim.

The next couple of days saw us going to the east side of the point. We had look at the light house and had some great swims close to the rocks at the point. It was not too rough around the change of tide.

Access to the northern end of Teewah Beach was never a problem. The turbo Isuzu 110 never ran out of puff and was able to power through the soft sand, albeit in low range high gear for part of it.

The TD5 must also be be pretty good. I saw a TD5 Defender towing a pretty big boat south along Teewah with apparent ease.

thanks to all who replied.
