Threats: Coastal Development, Visual Amenity, Ecosystem Integrity
This magnificent bay is host to some of the best waves on Norfolk Island by way of it’s grinding right hand point break. A proposal to construct a jetty and break wall will forever destroy this wave. Home to an especially rare land crab and feeding ground for turtles, this high energy East Southeast facing bay is not the desirable site for most islanders as other less sensitive and more accessible sites have been identified. This fight is winnable by surfers taking action and backing the local community to demand this jewel be left to turtles, surfers and land crabs while the much needed upgrade of port facilities are developed elsewhere.
