-
If you're bringing floating toys, please use the mooring buoys available and make sure your boat is safely secured to them. Let's protect the sensitive ecological values of the sea bed from dragging anchors. The use of anchors in Mark Bay is not permitted in order to allow for the recovery of subtidal and inter-tidal marine life, and to better prevent boats from washing ashore.
