A pretty little bay that usually offers a sheltered place to swim. This is where the locals swim. It has grassed picnic areas and a lovely walk alongside the stream through native bush.

A long, sandy beach which usually has a bit of surf. It is worth the drive over the hill from Leigh to visit and take a walk or a swim there.
