Beaches & swimming
Self-guided
The reef that shelters the bay makes for calm, warm swimming right in front of camp, and either side of it the beaches run for kilometres, empty and clean. Walk far enough and you will meet no one but ghost crabs and the odd fish eagle. Climb a high dune for sweeping views out to sea, and after a storm keep an eye out for wind-blown seabirds you would never normally see from shore.
There are no lifeguards, so swim sensibly, keep an eye on the little ones and respect the sea.
