This is a small, protected area on the coast, featuring a rock swimming pool, basic toilets, and paid parking. Daytime parking is available for up to 12 hours, while overnight parking is free. In summer, you can swim in the rock pool during the day, and in winter, you can enjoy stargazing at night.

This is a great spot to park, relax and look at the ocean. The sunshine is beautiful and one can observe both beaches - Freshwater and Curl Curl. It is also good for dogs!
