The jury is out for me. From a park perspective they don’t
cater for kids, no pool or playground and a similar price to parks that do. The
showers are hot which is a bonus and they have home-made bread rolls and cakes
in the store which is also cool.
The beach didn’t do much for me. The tide amazingly goes out
for miles, I would say at least 1klm at a minimum. When it is in it comes right
up to the dunes so you can’t camp anywhere along the beach, not a bonus in my
eyes. When the tide is out it reminds me of Redland Bay mud flats, only a
greyish white colour sand, when it is in, the first 200m is just a milky grey
colour water and you can’t see anything at all, again not that attractive. The
beach is littered with shells, which is OK if you like walking the beach and
collecting them, but that doesn’t press my buttons - although the boys and Mum
loved it. Certainly not something you could do for days on end.
When the tide is at 3 quarter, it is a beautiful beach, the
only time you see soft sand without shells you can walk on without thongs, but
the tide moves so quickly that it doesn’t last for very long and you are in mud
flat type surroundings.
The fishing is meant to be spectacular, but I didn’t have
any luck, nor did anyone else that was there. I tried everything but fresh bait
and got nothing. I am sure that when they are on the chew it would be great
fishing, but not for me this time.
In summary, if you like collecting shells, come here, take
your chances with the fish but like everywhere, right time right place, don’t
expect much for the kids but the cheesecake is great.
It’s nothing like the sand island beaches we love in QLD,
but certainly worth a look. Don’t make it more that 1-2 nights though, I feel
that the coral coast will be much more to our QLD liking. Broome beaches were
definitely nicer.
Negative Jase out…..
