Closer to Grey, would 9 mile. Just over the river on main road (strongman mine access road on right), park up. Beach, go south to the rocks.
The mussels were great when no1 was in operation, went a bit crap when no2 was open, unsure now. BUT I think they would be all good.

Many a time on that beach with a fire going and a section on corogated roof iron on it to cook them (the irons great as it stops them falling off - just let it heat up and burn off paint and some of the galv first....)
