We did a ton of exploring on all coasts in 10 days last year. Back then the maps were not 100% (showing 5 roundabouts on one road when there are 6) but we figured it out.
We had a Suzuki Swift and it was perfect to get to the beaches. (Please promise that you will not be always on the west coast!) Harrowsmith and Bottom Bay were our favourites and although you will see some locals hanging around we never felt threatened. Crane beach (away from the resort) was a different story....there are bush boys hiding in the growth against the cliffs. On our first visit 7 years ago a female lady cop walked down the beach and warned us t o be careful about leaving our stuff and going in the water. ( we thought she was going to hassle my wife who's bikini top was hanging on a bush drying)
If you want some suggestions on where to daytrip give me a shout.
After we turned the car in and checked our bags for the flight home we walked next door and toured the Concord. Do NOT miss that.
Cheers
We are staying on the west coast, but my wife's cousin is getting married at the Crane, so we will be there a couple times and plan to do a lot touring.
Best suggestions for a daytrip?
