Longitude 145.2619400 (145° 15′ 43″ E)

At the end of Finch Bay Rd past the botanic gardens, this is a disappointing spot, the beach is picturesque, but is over-used, particularly by dog walkers who are allowed to walk their dogs off leash, as a result there is no room for wildlife here, the bush looks good, but there don’t seem to be many birds using it.
