Nice little cove, very calm and peaceful atmosphere. Water is quite clear and good for a relaxing walk along the shore. Not too crowded which makes it a good spot to unwind and enjoy the view. Feels like a quiet hidden place away from busy areas, simple but really enjoyable

Walk east to the rocks below Melville point lookout to see some incredible chert formations and a small cave

Easy flat access, great for kids & family. A NE sea breeze is off shore which is handy in summer. Can drop the family and get a surf at Barlings.....everyone happy.

What a beautiful area. Such an amazing section of coastline. Well worth the effort to go tke a look. The view from the lookout is spectacular. We watched kite surfers and marveled at their speed and abilility to change direction. Great walks and easy access to the beach makes this area a delight to visit.
