Buffalo Beach

If you walk along the Buffalo Beach (near to the corner by the wharf) after the tide has gone out, you will be treated to seeing hundreds of little starfish. We wandered down the almost deserted beach as the sun set over the hills, finding whole shells and the little stars - it was magical.
