15 KM
Grade A
This is a fantastic section of coastline and a real east coast hidden gem. The rock architecture, caves and arches around Bow Fiddle rock are enough to rival anywhere. The beaches and friendly harbour communities leave you wanting more, the birdlife and likelihood of seeing a pod of dolphins swimming by add to the expectations and finally a remarkable castle make this journey a truly exceptional one.
