Flour Cask Bay Beach
A long and variable bay ranging from high to very low energy beaches.
-
South Coast
A long and variable bay ranging from high to very low energy beaches, with little development other than the access road to the southern half of the bay.
Swimming is not advised at Flour Cask Bay as it is wave, rip and reef-dominated and is unsafe, while the southern half of D’Estrees Bay is too shallow and dominated by seagrass meadows and debris.
For surfing, there are remote, energetic and dangerous reef breaks along Flour Cask and northern D’Estrees Bays, with the safest surf along the central D’Estrees Bay.
Reef fishing is along Flour Cask Bay, however access is difficult.
