5 Day 2 Start your morning with a refreshing walk at Bridgewater Bay. Take in the scenic coastal views and breathe in the fresh sea air.

It's a serene and invigorating way to begin the day. *The beach is not patrolled and is considered dangerous due to the exposed rocks, reefs, and surf. Keep an eye on the tides and waves, and wear sensible footwear, as some of the rocks are covered in slippery seaweed.
