A beautiful waterfall that is only a short walk to get to - bit of a local secret.
Always lots to do down near the Jetty - go for a swim, do some jetty jumping, surf at gallows or north wall, get fish and chips at the co-op, walk up mutton bird island, walk from the north wall to the south wall and back, grab a coffee, check out the markets, go to one of the local nearby restaurants and cafes.
