Attractions:
200 metres south of Hardwicke Bay is a natural swimming pool surrounded by a reef.
King George whiting is often abundant in this area, making it popular for fishers.
Hardwicke Bay initially evolved as a small shack settlement for the locals on weekends and a base for professional fisherman in the 1940's. The council opened land up in the 1960's and a farmer subdivided his land in the 1980's. Today the bay is rapidly developing with permanent and holiday dwellings.
