Originally a pilot station for vessels entering the river, it became a port for cedar, maize and farm produce from up river. In 1894 a breakwater was built providing some great fishing and safer boating. You can swim in the lagoon with some safety provided by sandy beaches inside the river mouth, where there are some BBQ and picnic areas. Just to the north, is the township of Crowdy Bay.
