Moor your boat in the protected anchorage then fire up the barbecue or set out your picnic in this secluded day-use area overlooking scenic Pumicestone Passage. Take advantage of excellent fishing opportunities in the passage or paddle your canoe or kayak around the sheltered waters. If you're lucky you may spot a dugong grazing on seagrass beds.
Stroll along the water's edge at low tide to watch migratory shorebirds refuelling here during summer before their April departure. You'll also see birds of prey, such as ospreys, sea eagles, and brahminy and whistling kites all year round.
