This beach is a must-visit with its stunning ocean views and impressive sand dunes. It's definitely worth the trip.

This beach was pleasantly secluded and despite the wind, it was enjoyable to run down the sand dunes. Check out our Australian adventures on Instagram @sambolomio.

I enjoyed walking on the sand dunes, but the strong wind made it less enjoyable to stay for too long. It's a nice place for a stroll and to take in the scenery, but compared to Sleaford Bay, this beach didn't offer as much.
