This is a gorgeous little (not so secret from the locals) spot to do a nature walk or lay by the clear water of Talle creek which connects to the ocean. Also a great place to hire Stand up Paddle boards.

If you have a car, this is our kids favourite place to go. A 45 minute drive through beautiful scenery! Book a fruit tasting, ride a tractor and go on a little boat around their mini Island to feed some farm animals and kangaroos.
