Nice quiet beach with ample free parking and a picnic area. A good day to spend after the trek at Capricorn Coast National Park.

A lovely spot out of the way where you can kick back and recharge. A great spot for the whole family including little ones and the dog. The water is a gorgeous turquoise colour and the surrounding headland makes for a contrasting backdrop. There are 2 shops close by to get an ice-cream or drink when the sun gets a bit much.
