How beautiful @Bobj you live in paradise! Can you swim safely in the water? I long to just jump in there....

There is a little gully that is ok to take a dip, but it is bound by steep rocks, so have to be quite agile.

The beaches are  fairly safe from May to Sept, then the usual ooglies make an appearance.

Cheers, Bobj.
