We had a great time driving our 4x4 to the beach. We packed lunch before heading out and enjoyed the beautiful views and fishing spots. There wasn't much left of the wreck, but it was still a fantastic experience.
The setting is absolutely perfect! The verandah is lovely, with a beautiful view of the bay. The cottages and rooms are neat and tidy. The bathroom is clean, and there's a warm water shower available! Camping is nice, although it can be a bit challenging to secure tent pegs due to the rocks. Every day, there are crayfish, oysters, mussels, and beadwork available for purchase. There's a night guard on duty every night for added security. It's a great place to stay if you're planning fishing parties!
