Sugarloaf Rock - SuRk28 Point PicquetSturdy granite rock formation holding strong against a surging swell. Distinctive by its shape, this conical shaped rock resembles an old fashioned sugarloaf, hence the name Sugarloaf Rock. This large granite island is separated from the mainland by a small treacherous strip of water. When the swell is in full force swimming is not an option however on a really calm day it is an excellent place for divers.
