Stopped by this modest beach along the lighthouse trail, spotted a few wallabies too! The shoreline was littered with little rock stacking so ofcourse I had to leave a lil stack too. If youre planning on swimming here, there is a sign warning about sharks so do be cautious, but have fun!

A bit of a hike to get to this amazing little secluded beach, but definitely worth the walk. Sandy beach, cliffs with waves crashing and pools of moss covered rock and sea life. The walk may be a little hard on a hot day, bring water bottle and take it at a good pace.
