Sightseeing

Beautiful beach with hand made wood carvings by local artists. Sit back, relax, and watch the birds at the sanctuary lagoon, or read a book and watch ships sail past. If you're lucky, orca pods are known to frequent the area.

Be prepared for a short 1km hike through peaceful forest. This is a light family friendly hike but does have some steeper sections. The trail ends at a beautiful beach head where if you are fortunate, you may spot Orcas on the hunt. Bring the binos!
