Dinghy ashore

11 July 2010
There is nothing ashore except the remnants of the resort. You can leave your dinghy on the main beach. Alternatively, we went in east of the big jetty. There we anchored Bridgit off the beach - our new arrangement for security and protecting the outboard. Then it's very simple to walk round to the main beach and access road.
Around the coast, easily reachable by dinghy or by swimming ashore, the outcrops and tiny coves make for magical snorkelling. In greater depth (say 7m plus) the water is not as clear as around Dead Man's Strait, but the relative lack of people is lovely.
