Information

Ōtamahua/Quail Island tracks

Time: 10 minutes

Although the track from the ferry jetty is a little steep, it’s worth the climb down to the beach and the track surface is suitable for mountain-buggies. The beach is a safe place for swimming as it shelves out gently and the bay is reasonably sheltered from the winds that might whip up the harbour waters. It is a great spot to spend some time, have a picnic lunch, fossick amongst the rocks or beach-comb for shells and seaweed to decorate a sand sculpture.
