Ralphs Bay :: Recreation

Given the frequent strong winds and extensive shoal waters, Ralphs Bay has not been a popular location for recreational sailing. However, more recently these conditions have proved attractive to kite and sail boarders, who, despite the cold southerly water temperatures, capitalize on the gusty conditions. Oyster shells on the sea floor in the shallower reaches can be a hazard. Other water sports, e.g. water-skiing, are usually disrupted by the fresh afternoon sea-breezes and most devotees find that an early start on fine days provides the best opportunity for this type of activity.

The area is popular for bird watchers and other naturalists with an interest in local fauna, including some rare and endangered species.

Because of pollution and the resulting largely unvegetated mud/sludge bottom, Ralphs Bay is not a popular fishing or swimming destination.
