Sugarloaf
About Sugarloaf
Sugarloaf is an almost-vertical pinnacle that drops to around 90 m. It has a small ledge at about 18 m, and the top can break the surface at low tide, providing a convenient place to pause during ascent. The site is known for large schools of fish and active pelagic action in open water, with predators working baitfish under seabirds. Along the walls, divers can find nudibranchs, crayfish, and other small critters.
