We hiked around Busby Head and Smuggler's Cove. The views were, in a word, terrific!! For anyone who is a hiker there is no better place. The trail is very well marked and maintained. More

The beach walk on day one is rather tedious if you go both ends of the beach as we did; I'd recommend walking just to Ocean Beach and then having a swim.
