The drive from Hook Point to Orchid Beach is a total of approximately 105 km and can take anywhere from 2-3 hours depending on the actual beach conditions, the weather and the prevailing tide.
You should allow a minimum of 2.5 hours if you are driving between low tide times. This is 2 hours before low tide and 2 hours after low tide. These are the optimum driving times along the beach.
Also when planning your drive take into consideration your tyre pressure. Too low and can slow down your drive and too high may cause unnecessary sand bogging that can cause delays.
