Another point that was once a tidal island (Rocky Island), now linked permanently to the mainland by a pleasant bridge and a bucket-load of sand.

The bridge, The Esplanade and The Rotunda were built as public infrastructure projects to provide employment during the (last) Great Depression.

Until recently Rocky Point anchored one end of the shark net across Edwards Beach but since August, it’s been gone... making the view even prettier. If you have a hankering to see the remaining anchoring, it’s at the end of the Point.

Great spot for a picnic, grab fish and chips or calamari from the Bottom Of The Harbour takeaway up the road. And make sure to have a dip in this classic Harbour beach that retains that 1930s vibe, just.
