You have to be early in the morning. On 9th of December the sunrise is at 5.37, so be there on 5.15 and you can see an amazing sunrise!

Tolaga Bay Wharf
Cycling Highlight
Really cool spot, long wharf extending into the bay. Cycling on wharf not permitted… I got away with it. Signs with history, picnic tables, toilets and campground nearby.
