This is our favourite beach hang, it’s great for kids and has rock pools to explore. Also a great spot if you want to pack a picnic.
Make sure you take the short stroll up towards the other lookout where you can often spot turtles. Point Arkwright, is a great place to view migrating whales heading south during Spring.
