    Beautiful beaches, rock formations and caves with an important aboriginal history. There was almost nobody there when we visited on a Saturday morning in January. We decided to check our Rocky Cape because we were in the area, but I hadn't heard anything about it before so it was a pleasant surprise and I think it is an underrated gem on the North coast.
