About the Business
Welcome to Bushrangers Bay Aquatic Reserve, located in the stunning Bass Point Reserve just south of Shellharbour Village in Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and tourist attraction, this reserve offers an unforgettable experience for divers, snorkelers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
With both an inner and outer bay, Bushrangers Bay is a haven for those seeking sheltered dive and snorkelling sites. Covering three hectares, this aquatic reserve is dedicated to protecting the abundant plant and sea life that call it home. We kindly ask visitors to refrain from touching the soft corals, as they are fragile and can easily break off. Additionally, fishing or any action that may harm marine life, including removing empty shells, is strictly prohibited within the reserve.
One of the most captivating features of Bushrangers Bay is the cliff that resembles an amphitheatre. Submerged in 10 meters of water, these cliffs reach a height of six meters and are filled with numerous small cavities. These crevices provide shelter for sea urchins and tropical fish, creating a vibrant underwater ecosystem to explore.
For those interested in the history of the area, we recommend downloading the "Tread Shellharbour" App, which offers a virtual tour of Shellharbour. Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of this region while discovering the natural wonders of Bushrangers Bay.
Visiting Bushrangers Bay Aquatic Reserve will evoke a range of emotions and experiences. From the pure joy of witnessing a breathtaking sunrise to the sense of adventure as you explore the snowy peaks, this reserve offers endless possibilities. Feel the relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream and the connection to nature as you taste fragrant native leaves. Experience a sense of belonging as you return to your favorite holiday house and revel in the freedom of dashing into the waves.
