    Excellent site for Self Contained Vehicles (SCV) and Non Self Contained Vehicles (NSC).

    It also includes tents but is only suitable for roof tents not normal tents. There is a beautiful grass area at the top of the bay that is perfect for tents.

    Excellent spot right by the beach.

    Quiet and sheltered. Only space for three vehicles and as another reviewer mentioned, I can’t see how you could pitch a tent. As a self contained camper it was pretty much perfect for a night.

    Beautiful spot right at the beach.Calm and quiet!

    Was one of our favourites. Locals come here to surf or eat their dinner. Down at the beach in the car park there is a sign that only 3 vehicles can stay. If it’s already occupied you just have to drive up and the road above had several other spots. Clean toilet(only one). Really recommended!

    It was awesome because it's at the top of some cliffs overlooking a beach and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was awesome.

    Cons: right on a road, streetlights are super bright, closest toilet is down on the beach and I'm not sure if they lock it at night. Other great spot, allows tents.

    Not for tents unless you can pitch on a road surface.
