Here the headlands offer protection from storm-driven swells running up the coast and were a natural refuge used by Aboriginal people for generations. Here they would fish and gather shell fish off the rocky platforms and the beach. Today the accumulated shells and bones left over from these gatherings are significant sites known as middens. Middens are recognised by local Aboriginal community members as meeting places.
