Bass Point Anchorage

Bass Point sits on the New South Wales coast just south of Shellharbour, offering a sheltered hook of water tucked behind the headland that cuts the swell nicely in the right conditions. It's a quiet, no-frills drop-anchor spot with the rugged point itself worth exploring — it's a marine reserve, so the underwater life around the reef is genuinely impressive. Keep an eye on the wind direction though, as it can become exposed if conditions swing around.
