Guidelines

Tide Awareness : Check tide timings before visiting. Access to some parts of the rock may be dangerous or impossible during high tide. Safety Near Edges : Avoid climbing too close to edges. Strong waves and slippery rocks make it risky. Follow all posted safety signs. Respect Marine Life & Environment : Do not litter or disturb marine life. Take all trash back with you and avoid breaking corals or shells. Best Visiting Time : Early morning or late afternoon is ideal for safe access and scenic photography, avoiding the harsh midday sun.
