Nice quiet spot.
Lovely quiet spot with paring next to the beach. Rock pools for the kids and nice and shallow so very safe with lifeguards. The beach has a nice cafe open all day with friendly staff. It seems mostly locals go to this beach so it is a hidden away spot. The only down side is the tide comes right up to the wall so as long as you check the tide times there is plenty of sand. There is also a tide pool to the left.
