Locally known by the older crowd and the surfing community as "The Farm". Back in the day, the only access to this beach was via a private farm. Sometimes the farmer was around to collect the 40 cents fee, but more often than not, it was left in the honesty box hanging on the gate.
These days access is free and easy.

Sightseeing
The blowhole is a popular destination for out of town visitors. It's less than 15 mins drive away, but of course doesn't "blow" every day. Don't be too disappointed if it isn't performing when you visit - it's still a beautiful place to visit with spectacular views down the coast.
