One of gizzys hidden gems. Sure there are nicer beaches but this one is great. Quiet, secluded, calm and close to town. The reef is fun for the kids and seeing the sailboats is a treat too. Nice to get away from the crowds and take a little walk away from civilization!

Beautiful and quiet spot away from the main beach. Worth taking a walk up Kaiti Hill as well for some immaculate views. Can get a bit windy so bring a jacket just in case!
