Ocean Bay by boat

We run a Water Taxi from May to September, please call us to check availability on the day you wish to visit.

How to use the buoys

Lift the yellow pick up buoys near to the pink buoy. Pick one you want to moor to, trace along the rope until you find the thick rope with a loop in the end. Attach this to the cleat on your bow or stern.
