In this guide
At Blue Bay, decide whether you want time on the beach or an arranged outing into the marine park. They can share a day, but they need different plans.
What brings you here
Blue Bay is on the southeast coast. Its public beach is associated with casuarina shade, food vendors and excursions into Blue Bay Marine Park.
The marine park gives this beach day a particular focus. The tourism board describes snorkelling and glass-bottom boat visits as ways to explore its underwater landscape.
Plan the day around it
Ask an excursion organiser where you will meet, what equipment and supervision are included, how long you will actually spend in the water and how conditions affect the plan. Keep wildlife expectations open.
