Track details

Chowder Bay is a beautiful protected shallow sandy beach that is a critically important habitat and breeding zone for the endangered White's Seahorse. There is lovely and accessible snorkelling here - by starting directly off the beach. A suggested approach is to start on the southern half of the beach and wind your way southwards and along the reefy coastline of Chowder head and back.
