If you want to go camping for a night or two this is the place to do it. You'll probably need a 4WD. Stunning place, stunning beach and very secluded. Usually only a few other people camping in the area.

Town Beach is a great place to go if you have little kids. There's an enclosed waterpark and playground, there's a cafe and a quiet beach that is usually slightly warmer than cable beach, and a lot calmer (rarely waves) as it's in the bay.
