A quiet protected beach with a gradual foreshore, ideal for a picnic. Turn off Randalls Bay Road for access.
The unusual name is said to be based on the yellow and streaky red eggs-and-bacon flowers that grow in the area from the pea family. An alternative theory though likely untrue, is that Lady Jane Franklin ate bacon and eggs there around 1840 – who knows?

My very own beach! … Mickeys Beach is a hidden gem of a beach at the bottom of the Channel Highway between Randalls Beach and Eggs & Bacon beach.
Down a dirt road off Randalls Road easily accessible by all vehicles, about 300m. A short walk down to the beach.
If you wanted to find a small, well protected and secluded beach hidden away – this would be it. Beautiful sand and backed by a wonderful forest. No amenities, but hey, you cannot have everything. Definitely worth a visit.
