Beach
Henties
Bay has a peaceful, rustic atmosphere and the absence of
heavy traffic, the mild climate and long stretches of
unspoilt beach creates the ideal setting for a leisurely
holiday with long walks, sunbathing and picnicking or a
few days rest for the overseas visitor after a tiresome
journey on hot and dusty roads. Parts of the beach are
closed to anglers, vehicles and quad bikes to offer
pedestrians and sunbathers maximum peace and quite.
The main swimming
beach is down at the valley where the super tube is - quite a
busy spot during the December holiday season. Solitude Bay
is south of Henties Bay and ideal for long walks, beach picnics
or fishing.
Keep in mind that
the water is icy cold, ranging from 13 to 18°C, and the current very strong with
whirlpools in places which makes it dangerous to swim. It
is not advisable to swim too deep unless you are a strong
swimmer.
