"Great spot enjoy a beer at the top overlooking beautiful Surf beach. Stroll down to the park & play grounds feed the birds. Go for a surf or swimming or just walk the dog so relaxing here. Take a walk to the near by lookout and take a few photo’s. Come down and pick some olives of the many olive trees here. Or just sit back on the sand dunes and enjoy a wine with a few nibble’s watching the sun set."
