Walk around to the headland, which is an incredible basalt rock formation formed by lava flows more than 20 million years ago. Around 600 metres offshore is Cook Island, which sits in a protected marine reserve and is a great place for snorkelling. Look out for groupers, trevally, surgeonfish and parrotfish.
