Beautiful beach with interesting rock formations that make it an incredible place for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. The beach is of course tidal so plan your visit if you'd like to go for a swim. Plenty of wildlife to see but there are few hotels along the beach - all on the higher end in terms of cost.
