Paul's Guidebook
Sightseeing
Great swimming and surfing beach with beautiful sand. Waves constantly changing, sometimes great surfing and other times calm. We have taken a blanket to this beach at night, laid back with the kids (and hot milo) to watch shooting stars. I have seen dolphins swim by, have caught many fish, and have spent hours relaxing in the sun whilst reading a book.
