Sightseeing
Washerwoman's Beach is famous locally for the large sting rays that come in close to shore to feed on the scraps thrown to them by the fishermen. Kids love patting them, shrieking with delight as they glide over for affection.
Protected on each side and very calm and shallow, its a perfect beach for young families.
Washerwoman's is a 24 hour off leash beach. Dogs love it.
