Sightseeing

A local beach that is great for swimming and surfing with a fantastic walking track. If you decide to take the track, Allow 2-3 hours there and back if go the whole way and take water and a snack. We always recommend it to our overseas visitors but ought to do it ourselves more often, it is incredibly beautiful and doesn't cost a thing. A great family walk but if you take littlies you need to hold their hands near the cliff edges.
