This photo is taken from a lovely large 'gazebo' with chairs, tables and comfy lounges. And cool breezes. Great spot to sit back and admire our Top Shelf.

Leaving Palm Bay. I took this photo to show what a small bay it is. It's only about 250 metres from this beach through to the eastern side of the island too.
