Castlepoint : Activities
Digging up shell fish at low tide |
So what is there to do
in Castlepoint?
Ride down a hundred
meter high sand bank. We saw people utilising sheets of PVC,
flattened cardboard boxes, and a couple of kids from the caravan park
were sliding down the forty five degree slope on skate board decks
with the trucks removed.
There were people
attempting to surf in both the large and small bays. As I was
watching the surfers, a jet ski was lowered into the water and began
towing surfers into the rolling sets.

Digging pippies out of
the beach when the tide has retreated is popular. We were told to
leave them overnight in a pot of fresh water to force them to spit
out sandy residues.
Well maintained tracks
encourage short hiking trips.
Fishing from the beach,
the lighthouse rock, or from one of the many boats that head out into
the bay and pacific ocean beyond.
