Mackerel Beach
About
Mackerel Beach is opposite the turn-off to Dido Valley, beyond the Navy’s north battery. The beach is not popular for swimming or sunbathing, but anglers sometimes cast a line here, and trek-netting also takes place. It is a good dive site for novices, offering an easy shore entry and colourful sea life. Just a little offshore are the last remains of the Clan Stuart, which was wrecked here in 1917, after dragging anchor in a southeasterly gale.
