Breakaway beach is a secluded beach with great rockpools. At spring low tide the main rock pool closest to the sea is an excellent place for snorkelling. I have spotted small and large fish, huge array of crab including a dinner plate size spider crab, squid, weaver fish, and a diverse assortment of seaweed.

Hiking

Greenaway beach accessed by steps is a must to stop off at on this walk. It is so peaceful and the views and scenery are stunning. Deep rock pools and secluded sections. Great for a picnic or a sunbathe or just to sit for a while. Absolutely beautiful sunsets here too.
