Description:This former fishing village is now a thriving beachside community with white sandy beaches. South Bay beach commences on the northern side of the bluffs and trends due north and finally curves to the west in lee of Green Head, forming the ‘south bay’ of the head. Wave energy increases slightly along the beach and the seagrass meadows move about 50 m off the shore. The wind and waves push the seagrass debris to the north and often large berm of debris accumulates in the northern corner, where boats are launched off the beach. Most of the beach is backed by a foredune. The northern corner of the bay is backed by a small reserve and beach access, then the houses of South Bay and Green Head.
