Flipper Bay

This is the bay to the west of Houhou Pt.

It provides perfect shelter in SW to N to E winds and this is very pretty with virgin first-generation bush to the water’s edge.

The bay is deep close to shore and there is no difficulty in getting a stern line ashore.

Do not use this in SW to S winds as these blow straight into the bay.

There is a combined mooring club here.

This bay is very scenic and intimate spot that is popular with kayakers and tourist boats.
