Name: This beach is a great spot for a leisurely walk and some beautiful photos. It's nestled in a picturesque setting between rainforest-covered mountains. However, swimming is not recommended due to the presence of crocodiles in the area. The beach is just a short drive from town and there are toilets available nearby. The botanical gardens cafe is also conveniently located only a minute away.
