St Oswald's Bay Beach
Tourist attraction
π Donβt get fooled by edited photos. This isnβt as amazing at it seems in photos. I was there, and it was nothing like the beautiful photos. Looks can be deceiving especially when people photoshop their pictures!!!!! The coast is all rocky and no sand. That said, enjoy my deceptive airbrushed photos
