Personal favourite spot on the Island. Walk in from the western side to see the Sand dune literally swallowing the bush - never seen anything like it. Very steep dune into Lake Wabby, great for a swim.

Skip breakfast and walk in from the beach as the sun rises up over the trees, you’ll have the place to yourself till around 8-8:30 when the influx of people start arriving.
