Sightseeing
Great beach for a swim/ snorkel in the lagoon; or fossick for shells in the rock pools. Great surf at the Northern end when conditions are right.
Nice place to start the walk along the coast to the lighthouse via the beach. (good fitness needed for this .....BUT so pretty) Walk starts at the southern end near facilities. BBQ and picnic facilities make this an awesome picnic spot.
High tide is the best snorkelling

Great day trip. An easy 30 minute drive from the house. Take your cossies for a swim and a picnic to enjoy under the shady trees. There is a gorgeous walk called "point perpendicular" near here which i highly recommend. ( moderate fitness , undulating)
