This spot is wild and otherworldly. We clambered the slippery seaweed covered rocks and explored the large rock formations and swam in the beautiful natural pools.
The wild side of the Peninsula has beaches aplenty with rockpools and rocky outcrops that meet the sand and waves. Year round these beaches make an exciting spot to visit.
We stopped off at one of the many piers along the bay in Sorrento to reset, unwind and drop our feet in the ocean. You can't go wrong for a relaxed walk along any of these beaches down this way.
We found this pool rock that was nestled in a cave during low tide part of Pirates Bay Cave. Awesome spot for the brave hearted! Easy walking to get to but you'll need some good shoes to get down to the pools as the rocks are super sharp. We parked off on the nature strip on Royadie Rd and took the little track to the left of the fenced area.
