It's alright a place to visit if you happen to be close by. I would recommend stopping by a cafe after to enjoy the view or plan a meal around the area rather than specifically travelling here to do sightseeing.

Nothing special at all lol I don't know why it's such a big tourist attraction here. The shore is an okay walk to pass time but I would not go out of the way to come here.

16 December 2024 at 5.30pm Take time to make out the jagged and layered rock similarity with a lion’s head. It’s also a picturesque spot to catch the sunset and watch the planes making the final approach. Maybe even snap one in the background!
