If you are looking for peace and quiet, fabulous ever-changing views of the Coromandel and Great Mercury, with occasional glimpses of the Moehau and Gt Barrier, bird song in the morning and great short and medium walks along the coast and in the valley behind the beach, then this is for you. We were there late July and I had a couple of swims in the sea, bracing but lovely. It is just a heavenly spot.
