20 minute drive. Beautiful location by the beach. Good surf outside. Has car park. Near to the sand boarding facilities. However, because of those days is usually quite crowded. Magnificent views. Good coffee. Good food. Reasonable value considering the location.

My favorite place to relax is Birubi beach at Anna bay. You have a breathtaking walk along the beach and over 50 Km of sand dunes, spectacular at sunset. If you have a 4 wheel drive you can drive down to Tin City where the original Mad Max was filmed.

Our area is known for koalas. You will often see and hear them in the gums in the front and back yard and around the neighbourhood. You can use the bicycles to ride down to Tanilba Bay and thru the Tilligerry Koala Reserve boardwalk. The Koala Habitat is open during the day until 3 pm. They will let you know if there have been any koala spotted that day. Stunning walk any time of day.
