No crocs...they are 1500-2000 miles north. This is only about 7 hours drive north of Sydney, Aust. No sharks in creek but potential in ocean of course (like anywhere in the world). Its a typical tranquil seaside spot in new south wales.
I grew up at the end of that beach to the north at South West Rocks. Hat Head waves are first class when on, especially Hungry Head, which is over the hills to the south.
The surf can be exciting if trying to get out of the creek in a boat! The shite won’t be in the waves unless your boat gets rolled! To konradb66 I believe you mean Hungry Gate (camping area) south of Crescent Head, as Hungry Head is at Urunga, another couple of hours north
