It's a beautiful lake surrounded by ti-trees, the oil of which makes the water dark. It's reputedly very good for your skin. The water is always a few degrees warmer than the sea. It's one of the few places on the east coast where you can see the sunset over the water. Take a picnic & your swimmers!
