Adventurers can also explore the nearby Bushrangers Bay Reserve hiking trails through lush forests and attractions for panoramic views of the beautiful coastline.
The reserve has a “no take” rule, so fishing or shelling is not allowed, and touching the delicate corals is prohibited as they can easily break.
Visitors are also advised to wear comfortable shoes, as the rocky beaches are sharp and some places can be difficult to reach.
