Alma Bay

The favourite of the beaches for us as s family. There’s a playground here and the beach was really pretty. It’s quite protected and has shallow water for the kids to swim in.

Alma bay - one my most favourite places in the world. You can enjoy swimming with the lifesavers there the majority of the year, and plenty of people like to climb the massive boulders surrounding the bay. Lots of adventure to be had!! And can you believe this was in winter!
