Guys this is so hard to get to yet it is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It is worth going to. Plan a whole day to spend there and make sure you are ready to walk.

It was okay: had a pleasant swim.

I had a very happy swim here, and it was great to see so many families just enjoying being outdoors and in communion with maritime nature.
