Originally purchased by the current owner's family around 1950, this property has been part of the area's transformation from untouched cattle country to a relaxed beachside haven. Back then access was via a simple dirt track and beach huts dotted the coastline. A photo of the original home can still be seen on the historical sign near Fisherman's Landing at the end of the street.

For over 40 years this current home has been a warm and welcoming residence offering tranquility ocean breezes and a true connection to the relaxed beach lifestyle.
