About 8 km drive south of Venus Bay, access to Mt Camel beach is via a short walk. Anglers regularly catch good sized salmon from this beach.
Talia Beach and Talia Caves
Talia Beach is pristine. On a windy day, the surf and spray is nothing short of spectacular. There is a monument at the north end of the beach to a Nurse who fell from the cliffs into the ocean and was never recovered.

They are situated on the top of an isolated hill which provides superb view of the surounding counryside - and gives a sense of the vastness of Australia.
