The range of activities they enjoy here are vast, ranging from paddling and swimming to using water toys, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, rafts, windsurfers, dinghies and water skiing.
Personal watercraft and runabouts transit through the bay to and from the ramp at the north-western end of the main beach and must remain within the clearly marked access lane.
