What a private one day get away. You can walk the main trail and it'll take you to a kind of private island, if you take the first right it can lead you to two spots the one that goes further down has a spot right in between the rocks to see a beautiful sunset and the private island at the same time, on the other hand the one that leads upwards is a surreal spot to just witness...

A great place with really nice views nearby to Diamond Bay. A relatively short walk from the car park leading to the various points of interest. Great views during sunrise/sunset and some nice hiking opportunities.

Rock islands and coastal cliffs are quite spectacular and definitely worth a visit travelling around this area. Walk to Mount St Paul is nice...

Hidden gem! Can't believe I've never been here. Limited parking for seeing breath taking views. Today was sunny up to 30 degrees and beach was crowded, sea weeds visible. Beach is short walk from parking, alternate walking path takes longer and offers view of the beach from far and some rock formations.

A great place to visit for an amazing view. Clean water that is possible to swim at during the calmer times in the water. I would mainly recommend visiting the area during sunset or sunrise to get the best view of the ocean. Make sure you are ready for a steep climb up alot of stairs!
