Pets on leash

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement.

Scuba diving
There are opportunities for scuba diving in this marine conservancy. The water clarity is best during winter and spring.

Scuba diving at the Tree Nob Group is excellent due to the high marine species diversity and large underwater reefs with marine plants including eelgrass up to two metres long.
