Second stop, the infamous Dundee Beach, where Owie and I take a cruise along to one of the secluded beach fronts. With the freedom to cruise along the beaches, 9 times out of 10 you’ll be the only one on the beach. These secluded beaches are a scenic beauty with clear waters, rocky terrain and warm breezes. You’ll definitely want to pack up your city life and escape once you’ve seen this view.
