Information

Punsand Bay is the body of water that stretches roughly between Peak Point in west and the Tip of Australia in the east. It includes the smaller Cable and Muddy Bays within it. It is a beautiful area with blue ocean and white-sand beaches, some coastal mangrove swamps and mostly open woodland vegetation. There are numerous slow going 4WD tracks along the coast along the bay area offering superb coastal views.
