Guidebook for Clareville
Sightseeing
SUMMER: Drive to Palm Beach and catch the ferry to Mckeral Beach. Make sure you pack a picnic as no food or water over there. Great beach for swimming and a lovely ferry ride.
Great WINTER walk: Brilliant hike up to the lighthouse. Best early or late afternoon to miss all the tourists and the midday heat. Take the stairs up and the path down. Amazing views. No drinking water so make sure you take some for your walk. Grab coffee and breakfast at the Boathouse on the way back.
