Hi guys, myself and Tonni are going to check out the mangroves at Kurnell this weekend if anyone fancies joining us? It's supposed to be absolutely beautiful and it would be great to meet some new people :)
Great place to explore. There are a couple of channels cut through the mangroves to the East of Quibray Bay that lead to a deeper "hole". Not sure of it's history or purpose, but it makes for an interesting paddle through. Lots of things to see underwater on a calm day.
Keep an eye on the wind before you set off, as the bay can be challenging if a big Southerly blows up while you are out, as the relatively shallow water picks up quite a bit of chop, BUT its a blast on the right board with a bit of experience. There is usually a fair bit of wildlife both above and below the water, with lots of birds making use of the many man-made structures on the shoreline ot Towra Point Nature Reserve.
I've paddled here many times from Sandringham Beach (Dolls Point) and from both the front and back of Silver Beach (Kurnell) and discover something new almost every time I paddle there.
Enjoy, and if you'd like any further info on the area, I'm happy to help where I can.
Can't manage this week, but maybe another time or place. I'm in Caringbah and try to explore as much as I can of our beautiful waterways.
