This odd formation of rocks have been called the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks. The rocks formations sit on a 'ledge of rocks and overlook to see giving plenty of chances for some lovely photos. This site is quite popular due to the actual Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks which are named this due to the fact that they look just like make and female genitals, and according to out guide this has all happened naturally.
The Story Behind The Rocks
There is actually a story which accompanies this attraction although we were only told this by other people on the trip and not by our tour guide. We were told that an elderly couple's boat was wrecked and sunk nearby in the bay. The bodies were washed to shore and this is how the odd shaped rocks were formed!

I am happy to say that it acquits itself well. Tim is a horse, blue and so tiny that he lives in matchbox with a tic-tac box for a conservatory. A single Hoola-Hoop makes his lunch (he prefers barbecue beef flavour) and a fly (called Fly) is his best friend. Tim doesn't do much - apart from a few not very successful attempts at making it big in the media he seems to spend his days watching television and socialising with Fly.
The book contains several short morality tales featuring Tim; each of them is a few pages long, with a little text ...
