Take a hot chocolate or some hot chips, sit on the amazingly positioned benches and you can just chill with the million dollar view and the peace and quiet of this brilliant spot

Love this headland, perfect place all year round, hot, cold, sunny or raining, sit in the car, bench or grass listening to that surf is just amazing. On day with big swells come watch the surfers surf the big wave off the point or the kids getting smashed by the wave back i to the pool. Grab some fish and chips, sit back and relax!!!
