The beach was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed a short walk since we didn't have a four-wheel drive, which took us about 10 minutes. The children had a great time exploring the rock pools and caves.

The journey to the beach is absolutely worth it. It is stunning. The pictures don't capture its true beauty. Bring a picnic and hike up to the top for an even more breathtaking view overlooking doctors point.
