    This spot is fantastic!!
    Each day is different, the tides are amazing. The rocks are colourful, there are even ones that look like licorice allsorts. We have been here for two nights I forgot to do a footprint on the first night. We had our own Ring-necked Pheasant at the campground.
    Finally have to leave - on Dad's Birthday. Three amazing nights!
