"The beach was quiet and wide, with a beautiful view. There’s also a stunning sunset spot.
But the wind was really strong.🌊✨"

"Really good out of the way beach, long stretch of sand and quiet! When we arrived the was no one there, it’s only 3km off the freeway which was surprising, there’s a bitumen road all the way too which is another big plus, large car park with toilet facilities and nothing else which suits me as it probably helps reduce the crowds, if there were more facilities you tend to get a lot more activity.
There’s a well built wooden walkway and viewing platform with benched seating and then wooden steps going down to the beach, you can also drive on to the beach by a separate access point, in fact we saw someone do just that as we were sitting there taking in the view. I’d definitely be using this beach if I was living in the vicinity, I hate crowded beaches and this was perfect."
