Have you found all of the mean tide markers at the bay? Wander down the North-South Prominade and you'll go back in time to where the shore used to be. Fun fact... before 1926 it reached the war memorial wall, and before then it lapped at the cliffs. Amazing to think how much the sandy bay has grown over 150 years. The sand started to rapidly accumulate after the first breakwater was constructed for the Port. Next time your at the bay, look out for the markers and find a WuHoo. Pick up a free scavenger hunt from the Musuem to find more cool things at the bay.
