Just outside of town you'll find the dramatic entrance for this charming coastal park – a long wooden bridge over a buzzing lagoon. Inside the park is a 3.4km trail that takes you across a small island and then back to the mainland, ending at some natural pools on the beach. Along the way are signs identifying flora and fauna.
