Now although we didn't camp here I felt the need to comment. After reading on the internet about this lovely pool sheltered by a reef that is great for families I thought we could spend the day there. My eldest has been nagging me to take him snorkelling again. So we head off with high hopes only to be disappointed :( Surrounded by reef...sheltered maybe not. My son went in the water and complained of rocks, i said "yes, well there is a reef so I suppose there would be a few". Next thing I know he is struggling to get up after being hit by a wave! So off with the skirt I run for the water, only to realise the entire beach floor was sharp rock so no wonder he couldn't get a footing. The rips were terrible.
We got out safely, although my son had a cut knee from the rocks. The water was rough, no good for snorkelling. No good for kids. A big disappointment. So we decided to leave. However, we ( my eldest and I ) have decided to head there one day next week very early..say half 7am to try again for a snorkel. We got there at about lunch time this time round so the wind had set in. We are hoping that if we get in early it will be nice.
PS : The part they claim is sheltered and great for families is about 10m long along the shore line. So i suppose if you get in early and enjoy being crammed in like a sardine it may work for you. I dont recommend walking a further 10m down the shore as we did. So the verdict.... stay with the sardines or don't go! Oh, and arrive early and leave by lunch.
Will update next week on the early swim. Fingers crossed!
