Elliott Heads rock pools

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Don’t miss this beautiful place. Check time of low tide. Walk til the island then you can find it. I reckon to visit there between 12pm-3pm. So many fish inside that pool and they’re eating your dead skin when you swim in the water or sit on the rock. Frist time was scared them however enjoyed.

Barolin Point

Nature preserve

👍👍 Barolin Point is a place you can snorkell or dive around to view the coral and marine life. Amenities availble also. Pretty place to site and smell the sea air while viewing to the north or south of the piont. Nice walk also along the front. Plenty of parking available. A tranquil place of paradise....
