Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: If you plan on camping at Fishing Cove, bring a good backpack to cart your gear down there.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Sturdy hiking boots are essential for the more rugged trails and even beaches are a hazzard with all the huge pebbles on them.
Photo Equipment: Polarizer for the clouds and cut down on glare and 300m zoom for wildlife shots.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: A good tent gives you the freedom to stay where you want, like down at Fishing Cove. A portable stove gives you the choice of eating at any scnenic stop you make.
Miscellaneous: A reflection for Sandy near Pillar Rock. ;)
