Absolutely stunning. We have seen dolphins a few times, once getting within about 3 metres but never orcas. I am just a little jealous.

It was very awe inspiring. I was actually in bed when a friend rang to say he was on the beach watching them, you've never seen me jump out of bed as quick. I never even washed or brushed my teeth, just went straight to the beach!

I was there this afternoon, first time I've been there. Nice long beach.
No Orcas when i was there, but why's the beach strewn with wood and bark?

After the 2004 flood there were miles and miles of turnips and onions, pine trees, farm gates, hay bales and dead cows and sheep.
Great time for scavenging but the wood is useless for firewood because of the salt.
