Here is the view Northwards from Ragged Point, towards the small bay at Marley Vale. The route we took runs down over the rocks, and then we followed the path up from the bay, and cut in front of Mr Raven's house,(father of a friend of ours) and followed the path on northwards towards Skeete's Bay.

Hermit Crab Ragged Point


We found this hermit crab living in the forest, far from the sea.

Forest at Ragged Point


There is some tropical bush growing below the cliffs on the North Side of ragged Point. There is no formal pathway down here, it was just a matter of clambering along through.

North side of Ragged Point


The coast North of ragged Point is still quite wild. We emerged from tropical forest in the lee of the cliffs, to be confronted by this cactus.

A stair has been cut into the rocks at Deebles, and it is possible to walk down to the platform cut into the rock halfway down the cliffs. This is a wonderful spot for a picnic, or to take a rod and line, and cast for snapper off the rocks.
