Safety Bay Sandbar

A fascinating example of onshore sand movement, the Safety Bay Sandbar is displaying one of nature's long-term cycles of change. Around 70 years since the modern sandbar started clearly developing, it has almost replicated a historic feature which previously disappeared over 1840-1890.

The present evolutionary phase of the boat ramp is challenging for the operation of Safety Bay Boat Ramp, with a large volume of sediment heading directly towards the ramp.
