Once you are at your site though you realise there is not a lot of shade as a Cyclone went through here last year and wiped just about everything out. The park has done a great job though in getting it up and running in such a short time. We are still having 30deg + weather but there is no swimming here - there are lots of sharks (not large) swimming close to shore & heard there were sea snakes & other things in the water! That was enough for us to keep out.
Finally a catch..... there are a lot of sharks at Eighty Mile Beach only about 10 feet from where you fish. Tony threw his back but we found out later that they were all eating the sharks as well! We have never seen so many fisher people (men & women) fishing on one beach. There would have been at least 60 every afternoon or morning depending on the tides. Some drive along the beach for miles to get there catch.
We decided to drive along with the fishermen to see if the fish were up the other end of the beach, but no.... still no fish. 
As you can see from this photo the tide goes out for miles. Everyone gets on the beach hunting for beautiful shells. We spent hours dawdling along the beach looking for shells and managed to come back with quite a few bags full. They are nothing like you see in Adelaide. Next camp is Cape Keraudren
