You can rent a boat and go boating or even fishing on the beach-front, or you can drop a line off the old wooden jetty. You can head inland where there is also a lot to do and see.

You can also wind through the coastal trails or hike through rugged bushlands. There are several beautiful parks where you can carry out such activities.
