Tiffany's Beach, Salt Rock

Very little parking available, so recommended park in Shrimp Lane parking. Very popular for scuba divers and surfers.  Wind surfing/boarding hotspot.  Not a good swimming beach, because of the proliferation of rocks.  However, a lovely beach for walking dogs and sunbathing as it is not too busy.

George Hulett Place

Parking limited.  Good access for pedestrians through green alley over stream.  Popular with shore anglers.  Good swimming if there is a sandbank but no sharknets or Lifesavers so swimming at your own risk.
