Shoreline reef extends Northwards from Northern end of Kelly’s Beach to near the Bargara Public Boat Ramp and then seawards for approximately one kilometre in a slight arc to the North East.
DIVE SITE DESCRIPTION
The shoreline section of this reef provides for an excellent drift dive entering near the boat ramp on the incoming tide and exiting from the Northern end of Kelly’s Beach. The opposite is true for an outgoing tide.
Access to this dive from the shore is usually accessed from near the Bargara Boat Ramp (Northern end) or the Northern end of Kelly’s Beach (Southern end). Access from the rocky shoreline in between can be difficult for novices or those not used to heavy equipment.
This conveniant dive spot features basalt rock, extensive soft corals and some hard corals. The reef extends to about 20 metres from the shore and then approximately 20 metres wide as it curves to seawards. The rocks are surrounded by flat sand making the actual reef a well defined area. Sloping walls of hard corals interspersed with boulder corals give way to extensive gardens of many species of soft corals. Smaller varieties of reef fish with frequent sightings of larger pelagic species.
