Sapphire Beach
We rocked up here as part of our "Pacific Wanderings Road Trip" -  driving from Sydney to Byron Bay - at night.  This was the view from our tent in the morning.  Stunning!  A great place to stop on a road trip and I wish we could have stayed longer.  Kayaking, surfing, beach, hiking...it has it all.  AND views like this!  #roadtrip #mooneebeach  #camping  #NSW
