Three beaches and a sunset on Magnetic

The 'insect sprayer' came at 10 am to spray our unit so we packed up a picnic and we headed over to Florence Beach on the north-west side of Maggie Island. This beach has some of the best snorkelling on the island and Tom, Ed and Dad had a snorkel around the fringing reef as the tide was going out. There were a few fish, clams and some interesting corals to be seen. We spent about 2 hours here with the kids building a HUGE sandcastle on the beach. Next stop was Radical Beach for lunch (to get out of the wind). A fantastic golden sand beach and the kids spent nearly 2 hours body surfing and wave jumping in the surf, with mum and dad in for a quick refresh when it got too hot lying on the beach. There was one beach left to explore on the way home called Arthurs Beach. This beach was smaller than the previous 2 but had great rock formations down one end of it where we all did a bit of rock hopping/climbing. From here we were all beached out so it was back home to catch a wonderful sunset at Horseshoe Bay. Magic!
