A beach campsite located between Highland Point and the beaches north of the mouth of Rodger’s River. There are many large coconut palms growing along this narrow beach and it is a good location for bird watching. Make sure your camp is set up above the high tide line and secure food from racoons. The Rewis family lived at this site for about 27 years and spent most of it on the beach. Australian Pines, exotics to the area, can still be seen today.
