This is the place to be on Sunday afternoons. Your hotel usually has a taxi/van that will take you to and back from Shirley heights. Just to give you an estimate: we had a party of 9 and were staying at the Jolly Beach resort. It was $22 pp round trip. Yes, it was kinda steep but worth it! Get... more

I would recommend getting there early so that you can get a seat, when the cruise passengers arrive on their coaches, it gets really packed! It... more

Not what we'd expected, our mini bus was one of the last to arrive or so it seems because the place was crowded and there was nowhere to sit when we arrived. Good band, good food and an amazing view of the sun going down but after an hour we wanted to leave. Everyone on our minibus felt the same.... more
