Boat Harbour

Arno Bay have a brilliant boat harbour with 'state of the art' boat ramps and launching facilities a few hundred metres north of the Arno Bay Caravan Park. It was built with the assistance of the Arno Bay Progress Association.

Mangrove Board Walk

Located just a few hundred metres to the north of the Arno Bay Caravan Park is a pretty tidal creek with a parking area, a shelter and barbecue, and public toilets. There is a 700 metre long board walk, with numerous observation decks, leading all the way from the car park, along the main tidal creek and over the mangroves to the beach. There is also another loop walk from the car park through the mangroves with lots of information about the local flora and fauna. (Need some photos). The tidal creek is ideal for canoeing, swimming and bird watching - or just relaxing with a BBQ lunch.
