A beautiful location with stunning views across the waters. The drive into this location is pleasurable in its self. There were plenty of shady car parking areas (about midway along) and within a short walking distance to the beach access points. Even though it was a warm sunny day the beach was not crowed at all. The rockpools at the northern end of the beach are easy to get to if you wanted to take the kids for a walk. In all a beautiful beach in a beautiful location.

Awesome scenic view from the beach. I have not seen anyone like this one. Less busy, someone like me who prefer quick walk from car park to beach and easy access to good shaded spots, this one was a gem. Parking: lot of raking along beach line(free). A lot on nearby roadsides too. Washrooms: clean washrooms. Barbecue available, but mostly already occupied. Cafe and restaurant right on the beach. Plenty of shaded area. Kids park: adjacent to car park, be with kids all the time. Downside: no shower available. *I would have given five stars if there was a shower available.

Quiet s.e. facing beach with a rock pool at the southern end of the beach. Headlands at North and south end of the beach. Quiet residential area with a cafe and restaurant set back from the beach at southern end of the beach.

Such a beautiful beach with some spectacular views. It is a clean beach that was not busy at all when we went there. You can go for walks along the beach and take in the beauty it has to offer. The rock formations on both ends of the beach are brilliant. Nice rock pool located here too.
