What people say
Magical place.
Worth a visit....
Seems to be closed and access track is blocked off. Don't bother
Beautiful spot but the trail was raw coming down. Didn't explore any other way but only try if you are good with rocks and hiking on uneven rocks.
Nice little bay and hard to get to. Don't even think about taking the Northern approach, it's overgrown. The Southern track is doable if you're good on your feet. I wouldn't swim here, the rips are intense. Also, on high tide the water covers the whole beach on most waves.
