Surat Bay, seals and ship wrecks what more could you want! Take a walk down the beach and keep your eyes peeled for fur seals hanging out along the beach. They like to roll around in the sand, so keep your eyes peeled. A word of warning..... don't get between the seal and the sea, they can freak out and run fast. Keep your distance.

I can never tire of watching the seals bask in the sun, swim then heave themselves up onto the rocks. Surat Bay good for spotting huge sea lions.
