Can you camp at Herron Point?

Yes — Herron Point is a bush camping ground with on-site drop toilets and a boat ramp. Fees apply; book through the Shire of Murray. The campground fills on school holidays and long weekends.

What's the best time for crabbing at Herron Point?

December through April is the peak productivity window; the season runs 1 December – 31 August (closed 1 September – 30 November). Drop nets along the weed edges off the bank or boat ramp and check every 20 minutes. Always check DPIRD for current season dates and bag limits.

Is Herron Point good for kids fishing?

Yes for the on-shore wade and bait fishing in calm conditions, with adult supervision around the water. The bush camping setting is a draw for families. Mosquitoes at dawn and dusk are a defining feature; pack repellent.

How does Herron Point compare to Coodanup?

Herron Point is on the Harvey Estuary side; Coodanup is on the Peel Inlet side. Same broad system, similar species and techniques, but Herron Point is quieter, more bush-feel, and feels more remote. Coodanup has easier urban access and more facilities.
