Footbridge: a quieter lagoon to explore
Paddle toward the Footbridge when you want a more secluded stretch of water—an easy option for steady cruising and spotting shoreline life away from the entrance channel.
Flagstaff Jetty and the Entrance channel
Head toward Flagstaff Jetty to take in sweeping views of the Entrance channel, where the lake opens up and the outlook changes from sheltered lagoon to shoreline panorama.
Ready‑to‑go hires with safety kit included
All hires include a personal flotation device per person and a dry pouch for your phone; Party SUPs come with four paddles at the listed price, with extra paddles available for an additional fee.

The hires let you set the pace—explore locally or take boards in your vehicle to other sheltered bays—and include basic safety kit so you can focus on the water and the view.
