Inside Roslyn Bay
Roslyn Bay is protected from the elements behind an enormous volcanic outcrop that is thought to have been formed more than 50 million years ago.
From the top of this outcrop, the Keppel Islands are clearly visible.
Nearby Statue Bay and Double Head are popular fishing destinations for Black Jewfish, Cod, Tuna, and Mackerel.
Roslyn Bay Harbour is quite busy as it is home to ferries departing for Great Keppel Island, along with Keppel Bay cruises, recreational fishing boats,
bare-boat charters, and Local fishing trawlers.
