Beaches
Situated directly below the apartment, this sheltered beach makes for an excellent bathing area. Old Head Nature Reserve is just past the pier with access from the beach, a fine example of a native broad-leaf woodland.
From the woods, walkers can continue out along the cliff walk by the coast for stunning views of the sea, mountains and islands.
