Fishing
Please check with the managers about the local fishing rules. There are several fishing charter operators in Picton. Please ask for details.
Swimming and diving
The clear, sheltered waters of Mistletoe Bay make it perfect for swimming, diving and snorkeling. We strongly advise the wearing of wet shoes or sandals when paddling in the shallows.Young children should always be supervised by an adult when swimming.
Do take extra care around the rocks and check the depth of the water before diving or jumping from the jetty, and stay well clear of boats entering or leaving the bay.
