Bushwalk in Thames - between St. John's and Mine Experience - discovered after 5 years!

Cooks Beach - a new discovery

A dream, and unexpected! It happened when we made use of the fact that we had to pick up some of our e-bikes from Hot Water Beach. We thought, actually, we have never visited Cook's Beach... Cook's Beach is nice, really, but not spectacular. But when we walked to the end where the usual freshwater creek disembogues into the sea, we discovered the walkway to Lonely Bay, which indeed is really spectacular with its lime sandstone cliffs!
If you don't like seeing other tourists (doesn't bother me though), and want to visit a beach which equals Cathedral Cove or New Chums beach - this is definitely an option.
