Cabbage Tree Point
What I love the most about Cabbage Tree Point is that it delivers a different experience every time we go. Depending on the weather, there are so many different things to do. While I usually love the nice sunny beach days spent here and on the playground, recent sunset visits exploring the mudflats and going for a walk were just as fun!! No matter the tide, come with your towel and a change of clothes when you visit and you'll have a ball.
