User reviews
"After reading reviews, we anticipated having to walk a bit since we only had a rented Toyota Yaris, but we managed to drive all the way to the beach. The beach is fantastic and we had it all to ourselves, enjoying the sight of passing boats and a pelican nesting nearby. The only drawback was the litter left by inconsiderate people on the roadside."

Bush Bay Beach is definitely worth ..."
