I really enjoy being here as it's usually quite serene, with very few people around unless there's a community gathering happening. It's a great spot to take my dog for a walk in the morning and evening by the lake, and the sunset in the evening is absolutely stunning ❤️

There are some fascinating rock formations and these perfectly round rocks shaped like balls. It's quite intriguing!

This place is really nice with amazing views and a fascinating history connected to the indigenous people of the region. The combination of shale and kettle rocks is quite intriguing to observe. It's definitely worth a visit to capture a few pictures, but it's important to be cautious and discourage children from running around and breaking shale, as it is not well-received.

This beach is a great place to catch beautiful sunsets. However, it's important to be considerate of the local residents. If there's limited parking available, it's best to find an alternative spot. The parking area can accommodate approximately 8 vehicles. The beach itself has a slightly uneven terrain, but it adds to the excitement of skipping rocks across the water while enjoying the sunset.

I visited the beach for the first time and finally located the south point. Being an amateur geologist, it was an intriguing destination to add to my collection of experiences. I stumbled upon a kettle, a slate with a "rusty" appearance, and a fossil that made me ponder if it could be a Cyanobacterial formation. However, I don't believe it is an ancient coral.
