Remarkable Rocks,The Remarkable Rocks are an icon of South Australia, one that many Australians could probably recognise if shown a picture. But it isn't until you're visit them yourself that you really understand what makes them special; the strangeness of their weathered shapes sitting on on a bare rock, surrounded by low scrub and little else. New boardwalks to rocks, easy walking

Beach café with the best and freshest salt and pepper squid I have ever had.
Everything is Fresh and Local.
Before or after your lunch follow the rock path through a short tunnel of large
rocks to come out on a beautiful sandy beach. Last time we saw a pod of
dolphins in the bay. The best time to go through the tunnel is when the tide is
out.
