Name: This beach is stunningly beautiful and feels incredibly remote. There are white flippered Penguins nesting nearby, and I even had the chance to meet the friendly farmer who has been there for 40 years. Parking is available at the end of the track by the DOC sign, but be aware that the track is only suitable for 4WD vehicles. It is narrow, steep, and has limited passing places, so caution is advised to avoid any costly mistakes.
