    Great spot to camp, but you do need the tide out to see the rocks

    Accessible only at one hour either side of low tide so plan accordingly and take gumboots. Lots of caves to explore but watch that time.

    Great place only we got trapped in the tide around 8pm. The river widens behind you and the current is usually very dangerous. We were rescued by a helicopter, but then learned from a local resident that there is an emergency route. He lies across from the elephant.

    We went there 10:30am (high tide coming today at 1pm), was fine on the way there but water rises reeeally quick! Way back the water was almost on our waist even though we spent only couple minutes there But supeeer nice one! :)

    Petite promenade sympa pour se dégourdir les jambes mais sans grand intérêt, ce sont juste des gros rochers sur la plage (l’éléphant a été détruit lors d’un tremblement de terre)
