When you drive to the Derby Jetty you drive pass this old crane. I happend to be there just when the sun was going down. The Jetty is also nice to shoot. At low tide it is standing really high. The tide is one of the biggest in the world, over 11 meters!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom beach shack, the design of which was a bit squeezy for 4 adults. Even the parking spot seemed narrow. However, room was clean, staff super attentive. Stunning location, excellent facilities. Highly recommended.

They offer shuttle service from airport by phoning on arrival.

I tried a third time but no-one available. ...

Town has a lot of issues at the moment with youth. Safety questionable at night and always need to keep an eye out for trouble. Too bad as a beautiful little town with lovely people.
