Quiet nature reserve just behind the beach at Shoal Bay. It parallels the coast and is a popular walking spot that runs from near the bottom of Mt Tomaree to the lighthouse. Early mornings and late afternoons seem to be the preferred time to exercise here.

A nice little park for a morning walk. We cut across the park to enjoy the scenic Shoal Bay. Nearby, we chanced by a colony of brightly coloured Hibiscus Harlequin Bugs aka Cotton Harlequin Bugs. We understand that upon maturity, the bugs turn a nice orange. In the neighbourhood, we also saw a ceramic bird feed that attracted a lot of wild colourful parrots. It was an amazing!
