Shelly beach is the hub of the South Coast with beautiful beaches, 2 shopping malls, restaurants, and many attractions. A variety of good accommodation to suit all tastes. St Michaels beach is a wonderful swimming beach protected by life savers and shark nets. There is a tidal pool, paddle boats and canoes on the lagoon, golden sand and rock pools.
