Sightseeing
We love the local beach just 700m from the house. Be sure to walk along the North end of the beach to the ocean pool to swim laps and continue around the rocks and then up to the point. There is a great boardwalk/walkway that you can continue walking along all the way along CurlCurl beach. Be sure to catch the beach at sunrise one morning of your stay.
