I think you should bring your camera! The views from the marina are stunning, especially at sunrise or sunset. You don’t want to miss the chance to capture those beautiful moments.

If you're going on a boat trip, aim for the 10 AM slots. The earlier you go, the less crowded it is, and you’ll have the best views of the harbor without all the hustle and bustle of later tours.

My advice is to book your yacht or kayak rental in advance, especially on weekends. I didn’t and ended up waiting much longer than I wanted. Pre-booking saves you time and hassle!

Watch for riptides if you're swimming! I didn't realize how strong they could be, and it was kinda scary. Stick closer to the lifeguard flags for safety.

For stunning views, hike up to the Pinnacle Track early in the day. The sunrise from there is just breathtaking, and it beats the afternoon heat!

Parking can be a nightmare during peak hours. I suggest getting there before 10 am. Plus, you'll get the best sun for your beach day!

Don’t forget to bring some cash for the local food trucks. The fish and chips are a must-try, and it’s way cheaper than the sit-down places nearby
