On initial visits to a location, It's easy to be seduced by the obvious. You often need to return many times to peel back the layers of a location until it reveals its hidden treasures. Pebbly Beach, with Norah Head Lighthouse prominently featured on its northern end, is one of my favourite locations on the beautiful NSW Central Coast. I've been here numerous times, but I m constantly discovering new facets of this amazing spot. Big seas here can move the sand around to reveal large rocks not visible before. I love the fact that there are usually very few people in this spot, especially at sunrise. This means you can just contemplate life and enjoy the beginning of a new day. Each wave crashing upon the shore is like a soothing arm from the ocean, sent to calm your soul.
