I spent a most of my childhood decembers in Wilderness so this place has a magical meaning for me. The lagoon is beautiful and a great place to take a walk or take the children to swim and play. And of course to take a cayak up this river will be great.

We found that this is the best beach in Wildeness. It is large, clean, relatively crowd free and good swimming beach. No facilities available to buy food and drinks though. So we just took our own. Great place to relax with kids
