Second Valley
Second Valley (E4) can be found just off of Main South Road, between Rapid Bay (E5)
and Normanville (G3). The extraordinary coastline has steep hills and sheer cliffs, with
stretches of pebble beach and gorgeous little sandy coves. Fishing is popular from the
rocks near the old boat sheds and the jetty. It is also a good spot for swimming. A
walk along the path from the jetty will reveal the intensely folded rock strata which
was buckled and moulded into this spectacular formation millions of years ago.
