Tumbledown Bay looks great from the hills, it is also worth walking the short farm track to the beach.
Be sure to wear some decent walking shoes on the short track down to the beach.
 

Tumbledown Bay

If you want a day at the beach without the crowds, head to Tumbledown Bay on the southern shores of Banks Peninsula.

The bay got its name from an incident involving too much alcohol and bottles being smashed after a tumble down a steep slope so it has long been a place for summer fun.

Sheltered by cliffs and a gentle surf, the bay is the perfect place for a paddle or a swim on a hot day. If you are lucky, you might spot hector dolphins swimming in the bay.

If you are heading to Tumbledown Bay, make sure you stop and explore Little River on the way.
