What people say
- People like:
- Harbour and mountain views, the beach and peaceful atmosphere draw praise.
Used to walk Misty dog here 20 years ago. Visiting a friend I took the moment to walk the Tuffy and The Marley to reminisce and sniff ‘round. A shadow of what it used to be.
Crab Park is a sacred place with the beach overlooking the Lions mountains. A beautiful place to bring your dog or hop in the ocean for a swim. It also has a memorial to the murdered and missing indigenous women and girls.
