About sue's groyne
Sue's Groyne is a shallow beach-entry shore site where a short walk-out and sand-bar run hold octopus, juvenile striped catfish, toadfish, triggerfish, squid, cuttlefish, and occasional baby Port Jackson sharks. It is a beginner-friendly pick for snorkellers and freedivers who want an easy shore session with enough structure to keep the critter hunt interesting. The tradeoff is simple: when the silt lifts, the site turns murky quickly, so the best dives are the calm windows when the wall and sand bar stay readable.
