Bass Point Reserve

This area takes its name from the great Australian explorer - George Bass. In May 1943, the American merchant ship 'Cities Services Boston' sank off Bass Point and although no sailors' lives were lost, 4 Australian soldiers who went to their aid were drowned. An annual service remembers there bravery and a memorial has been erected on site.

Bass Point is a popular spot for recreational visits, fishing, diving and walking. Bass Point contains Aboriginal middens of national significance as well as one of the few littoral rainforest areas in the Illawarra.

Boat ramp, fishing, skin diving, scuba diving, beaches and picnic facilities are available.

Bushranger's Bay at Bass Point is a Marine Aquatic Reserve.
