This beach is a paradise for those who love to get away from it all, it is wild and windswept, rugged and isolated, yet stunningly beautiful. A 4WD vehicle or quad bike will help you enjoy the empty coastline, it really is a fisherman's dream! Beachcombing and collecting driftwood or shells is something you can do here, walking along the wild shoreline and just enjoying the sea air. There are several small quaint seaside cribs or baches nestled in against the hillside along the beach, iconic treasures of this area.

This is a great place to visit for a day trip, bring a picnic, and plenty of food and drink as there is no store or facilities. Fill your car's gas tank too, no petrol stations here!

This is a real ocean beach, wild and untamed, one that will call you back again and again, to hear the sound of the surf and to walk along an empty shore, to find treasures the sea has washed up, and to enjoy the absolute peace and quiet of this amazing coastline.
