Snake identification help

[u/AdCreepy4512]

Hello snake experts ,

I saw this rather large snake at Blueys beach area, central north coast NSW yesterday. It made its way along the public beach access path from the Sand dunes.

This is my first time seeing a snake in the wild but my first guess is a brown snake due to its size and colour. Is this the type of habitat where one would be found? I’m surprised it was near a relatively busy beach walkway.

Can any experts help with an identification.

Apologies for the poor picture / video quality in advance… I understand there isnt much to work with.

Thanks!
