Captain James Cook and Charles Green first observed the transit of the planet Mercury from this location in 1769. The sighting is commemorated on the beach on a caim of Coromandel granite. White sand stretches for 3km along the bay but steep cliffs make is somewhat isolated from the other beaches. Popular activities include swimming and exploring.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
