Atmosphere
I like this place, its on a really beautiful beach with mountains in the backgound. Aparently one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, There is a camping spot there as well. Its a good idea to camp here, watch out for the wild deer.
General
Its a cool spot mellow in nature, you can get away from the crowds here and forget about everything else its deep inside the Royal National Park.
