Location & Attractions

The area boasts pristine beaches, a safe lagoon for swimming, and captivating sea views. The quietude found along the banks of the Great Brak River, with its numerous picnic spots, has made it a sought-after destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. The village gets its name from the brackish waters of the Brak Rivers, where the lagoon’s mouth splits into two sandy channels, creating a small island between them.

This quaint island, linked to the mainland by a single-lane bridge, is home to many holiday cottages, offering a peaceful retreat. Narrow lanes wind between the cottages, leading down to the sandy shores. With roots tracing back to 1859, the village’s history began with the construction of a toll bridge over the river, adding to the charm and character of this tranquil getaway.
