General description: Nice sandy beach and long rocky shoreline in both directions. Good for exploring/fishing. Site slopes from back to front with lumpy ground and some strategically placed trees that can make finding the spot a challenge. 2 additional tent pads attached by a pathway 5 meters north would make ideal tent pads in the non-buggy time of season.

Overall accessibility: Good, beach landing is large. A bit of an incline when going up tunnel to site.
