Great place to take a nice long walk and relax by the ocean. Plenty of shells and crabs in the sand and kangaroos just sitting in the scrub watching.

Great beach. Long front with decent surf. There's a large rocky ledge on the north side that makes for an interesting ledge. You can also park up top and enter this way however it is about a 2 or 3 flights of stairs high. Stairs are in good condition. Parking spots on the north side are limited however it does not seem busy at all.
