Mossy Point

In Mossy Point, the river, creek and ocean views set the scene: the Tomaga River is ideal for kayaking and canoeing, while Candlagan Creek draws visitors with its calm water and a clear swimming spot at the beach. There is also an estuary classified as a significant recreational fishing area, along with diverse birdlife. During your stay, you can choose between water activities and experiencing the surrounding landscape.

Experience the river, estuary and creek

The Tomaga River is suitable for kayaking and canoeing. You can take to the water with your own equipment or use equipment from the Boatshed. Stand-up paddleboards are also available for hire from the Boat Shed on the Tomaga River in Mossy Point. If you are interested in recreational fishing, the Tomaga River estuary is a significant fishing area. These options suit different preferences: paddle yourself, use a stand-up paddleboard or combine your stay with fishing.

Candlagan Creek offers a different experience on the water. Where the creek meets the beach, it forms a crystal-clear swimming pool. Elsewhere, the creek at Mossy Point is described as having calm water, low tides and good conditions for snorkelling. Swimming and snorkelling are therefore distinct options alongside activities on the river. If you enjoy variety in your days, you can weigh up these different water experiences when choosing where to stay, rather than associating Mossy Point with just one activity.

Hire equipment or take your own boat out

The Mossy Point Boat Shed is the starting point for RegionX kayak and bicycle hire. Kayak hire is another way to explore the Tomaga River, alongside bringing your own equipment; kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are also available for hire from the Boat Shed. There is another option for private boats: the Boat Shed on the Tomaga River has a ramp you can use to launch your own boat. When planning your holiday, it is therefore worth considering whether you would like to hire equipment, paddle yourself or bring your own boat. These options offer different ways to spend time on the water.

Views and birdlife

There is also plenty to connect with nature away from the water: Mossy Point is home to a wide variety of bird species. The Mossy Point Anchor Lookout is on the south bank of the Tomaga River between Tomakin and Broulee and offers ocean views. So, as well as paddling and snorkelling, birdlife and ocean views can also be part of your trip. If you want to include different interests in your holiday plans, you can add these nature experiences to the options on the river and creek.
