“Black sands and a scary black submersion if you hit the rocks hard. Rarely but really good so just leave it to the local boys when its on! Huge seals which will nibble at your numb toes too and grannys will park to stare at the white moon. Go cliff jumping at the lagoon and belly flop like a goon... instead. Or you could give it a bash with a smile and respect!!”
