What people say
This place is full of magic. I don't know from where I could start to describe it. From this beach is possible to see very beautiful and colorful sunsets. If you go to this beach I suggest you to take a walk until the headland situated on the right side of the beach from where is possible to see a very nice view. The beach is quiet big, the waves are good enough for surfing and are not very strong. I recommend this beach for beginners in surfing. There is a toilet and a big car park. Being the beach you can find many nice shops and restaurants.
Beautiful family beach that is lifesaver patrolled in school holidays, so swim between the flags
Absolutely beautiful my camera doesn't capture how green the water is with a background of blue also love it.
Saw kangaroos near here at the headlands. Also at night the moonlight and waves were something magical. Australia, you have my heart 🧡 🦘 🌊
Absolutely stunning view from the hill on top of the head lands. Was nice to see a mob of kangaroos hanging out up there
