Access is by boat only here. A rocky kelpy shore line that slopes away to around 12m+ to the sand line. Some cool pinnacles and swim throughs can be found in the area. As you go further away from shore and follow the sand line to the 30m mark you will find some more spectacular pinnacles.
Snapper, Moki species, Parore, Goatfish, Kingfish, John Dory, Stingrays, small numbers of Crayfish and many other invertebrates can be found above and amongst the kelp and on the sand.
