It was quite busy when I went down, which is always fun with people looking at you thinking what the hell is that weird thing that bloke is wandering around with. Some did ask and I was happy to have a chat to explain what it is and what I was doing. The waters were crystal clear with plenty of people swimming and a couple people snorkeling. Its a very popular beach with tourists and locals and there’s always someone on it. If you like sunsets then this is one of the few locations you can sit and watch in Torbay.

Sometimes there are events on the beach, one of the most popular is Brixfest.
