Surfing

Surfing

The north end of Bate Bay faces south so usually receives less swell than the beaches around Cronulla. The best place to surf Boat Harbour is usually at the south boundary, where conditions are similar to Wanda breaks, though usually a little smaller and a lot less crowded and finding a park is usually not a problem...

4WD Beach Access

4WD Beach Access

4wd and AWD vehicles are permitted to drive on Boat Harbour beach if a pass is purchased. The current cost is $20 for a day pass or $100 for a 6 month season pass (Jan-June or July-Dec). The beach presents few challenges and is more of a novelty than a serious 4wd destination. That said, it is fun to drive onto a Sydney Beach and set up a picnic from the back of your car metres from the shore. There is also a small sand dune area designated as a 4wd park at the back of the beach, but this is not likely to hold much excitement for experienced sand drivers.



Spearfishing

Spearfishing

Spearfishing and Snorkelling is popular around the rocky bay to the north of the beach
