My favourite place. A few km's from Port MacDonnell. This Coastline is different every visit. From massive crashing waves to idyllic calm conditions the magnificence of the Southern Ocean is captured here. The light at sunset is stunning...enjoy this magical coast in any weather!
Photos, fishing, surfing, diving or beach-combing. Grab fish and chips from Port Mac and enjoy them by the sea.
