Seal Rocks Lighthouse
On the way down from Forster, we stopped off at Seal Rocks. Seal Rocks is named after the rocks that the seals live on (go figure!) and as such, it was also a hunting ground for grey nurse sharks and great white sharks! I was very reluctant to surf here. Unusually for me, I didn't go in the sea at all!
Seal Rocks is exactly what you get if you mash up old-fashioned Cornish fishing villages with Mediterranean water. There were old men with fishing hats and big beards, beaches lined with fishing gear and giant pelicans and seagulls residing on the beach. It was a very pretty place.
We went for a walk up to the lighthouse on Sugarloaf headland, above Seal Rocks. The town itself is protected by this headland; but when we got up there, the wind was enormous!
