It's a gorgeous beach, with stunning blue water and soft sand, there's an amazing little lake/pond thingy for families that's so warm down the back. And some really lovely rock pools with heaps of marine life. Highly recommend.
It was a great spot to see sunrise!! Best experience in my life. We could walk on the rocks to find the good spot for sunrise. Also lots of crabs and small shells, my boy really enjoyed even we had to be there early in the morning.
Stunning location! You can see whales quite easily, ample parking and a coffee van is available in the mornings

Lovely walk out to the headland. Great beach for the family. Little ones can swim in the lake and for the more adventurous you can swim in the surf. The beach is patrolled during the summer

Nice lookout from which to look out over the ocean. Worth a stroll down if you have some time.
