Such a beautiful fresh water lake, only the depth changes the colour, so turquoise in the shallows. Try cleaning your jewellery in the sand. I have cleaned my watch and watch face many times, that tells you how soft the sand is. So pure.

The bushwalk into the lake was a bit of work but fun for our large group to do together. Beautiful forest to walk through, and by the time you get to the lake -stunning views and a secluded, beautiful spot - you’ve really earned a relaxing swim! The water is much deeper than at McKenzie and Birrabeen, so keep your kids close. The sand is so soft and beautiful here.
9. Sandy Cape Lighthouse

Reviewed By Aussie-in-paradise - Sydney, Australia
Don't be put off by the 1.2km walk up a steep hill. You will be more than rewarded by your effort. I'm 52 and not really fit, and i smoke. It took me 25 minutes to wander up, i paused 4 times. Take water with you and your camera, there are no toilets up there, just great views. look through the window for a very impressive solar setup. The history of this light house and its construction is really interesting. We did the walk then had a BBQ, which we took with us, lunch back on the beach. Just watch the tides when driving, as with anything on the island.

Drove along the Seventy-Five Mile Beach in a custom made 4wd coach as part of the Beauty Spots tour. Unique experience. Enjoyed every minute of the trip. Particularly enjoyed looking at the Maheno shipwreck. Also saw several wild dingos.
