Fascinating the way the water and sand are in constant change. Great to see the community involved in preserving and restoring the estuary.

Very relaxed place, ideal for camping and disconnecting from noise pollution. In season, very likely to see turtles, availability to take a boat tour on the estuary with the possibility of seeing crocodiles among other varied fauna of the extremely wide place.
