I walk here often. Since I’m a local artist at Cathrine Hill Bay it’s such a great place to paint. Never that busy and always relaxing. Weekends seem to get more people though.

Great beach for the little kids to play. Not much of a walk but after rains the walk to the beach may be on muddy grounds. The place wasn't crowded at all, even though we went on a sunny weekend. Plenty of rock pools with loads off sea life. A beautiful place for a swim or picnic by the sands. We even saw a pretty big 30cm long sea slug, I guess they enjoy the peace and quiet of the beach.
