Nudibranch Park

Moderate risk: Strong shore break and swell

Southeasterly swells can create a powerful shore break, making entry and exit tricky on rough days.

Moderate risk: Stinging marine stingers (Nov–May)

Box jellyfish and Irukandji may be present in warmer months. Wear a stinger suit.

Moderate risk: Marine stingers

Box jellyfish and other stingers may be present in warmer months.

Moderate risk: Slippery volcanic rock entry

Sharp, loose basalt boulders at the shoreline become extremely slippery when wet. Careful footing and sturdy footwear (or dive boots) are essential.

Low risk: Outgoing tide current

The outgoing tide can produce moderate rip-like currents around the rocky reef gutters.

Low risk: Sharp reef and rock shelves

The basalt rock formations and coral bommies are sharp; fins and boots recommended to avoid cuts.

Low risk: Boat traffic near reef edge

The outer edge of the reef is frequented by small recreational boats; stay aware of your surroundings.

Low risk: Rocky shore entry and exit

Entry and exit can be tricky over slippery, uneven beach rock and rocky terrain — care needed especially in swell.

Low risk: Moderate ocean swell

Swell can pick up along this exposed coastline, creating surge around the reef platforms.

Low risk: Green zone (marine sanctuary) boundary

A protected green zone lies to the left of the rock point. Diving is permitted to the right; straying left may breach no-take regulations.

Low risk: Tidal current influence

Entry and exit are significantly easier at mid-tide. Low tide exposes more rocky terrain and high tide can reduce the exit platform.

Low risk: Olive sea snakes

Olive sea snakes are occasionally encountered foraging among the coral bommies. They are venomous but generally non-aggressive; maintain a respectful distance.
