About this place

Bottlenose dolphins and sea lions can occasionally be seen and you can launch your boat from the beach.

The vegetation along the access road is summer-scented wattle, coastal banjine and other common coastal species.

You might also be lucky enough to see bobtails and other reptiles such as Gould’s monitors and carpet pythons (which are completely harmless).
