Reviews

  • 2.5/5

    Good facilities but the worst place along the track regarding mosquitos and sandflies!

    Depending on the tide you have to wait very long to cross the water the next day.

    Good facilities, but unless you need to stay in the hut, there's other beaches that are less affected by tide and have a nicer outlook.

    Walking

    Great facilities here though.

    Kayaking

    You would only want to stay here if the high tides are on your side when arriving and leaving here. Other nearby campsites are more kayak friendly.
