Hi Caza, you will have a blast. We camped at Dampiers Landing last year. You can have some fun straiight off the beach with sharks etc, we even landed a very nice spaniard (yes, off a sandy beach, with a heavy sinker)
Try turtle bay (long walk up and down, but worth it) for pinkies, baldies etc off the beach. In the LH corner is a patch of reef that holds some great baldies - good luck landing any as they will reef you in seconds. If you can get your boat round there we saw fish busting up 2-300m off the beach for hours. Also plenty of fish off the northern end of cape levillain, but more exposed than turtle bay. You can launch the tinny at Dampiers Landing and go from there.
For pelagic action land based urchin pointg and the block are the go, but fishing will be weather dependant.
Fish or no fish, you will have a ball, it's a special place.
Cheers,
BD.

As brown dog says you can
As brown dog says you can launch At dampiers landing head up to turtle bay hug the coast 15 hp tinny might be a bit small to make it up there it’s pretty open ocean . I’ve done in 4.2 with a 30 and struggled when it picked up.. slow ride back .. you can pick your way through cape levian stay close to the shore there’s a gap in the reef
plenty of fish around whitnell point aswell good tailor of the point

Look
No specific spots as such, just watch for the bust ups. Can't miss them, and they seemed to be pretty much everywhere. We were wishing we had brought a tinny just for that.
Good luck.
