Day 11 // View From The Spit

An overcast afternoon called for a walk from Fingal Beach across the Fingal Spit, only accessible at low tide. Two stunning beaches connecting to form a land bridge accessible for those up for the walk - and why wouldn't you.

Aboiut Fingal Bay (from Wikipedia)

Fingal Bay is approximately 1.75 km (1.1 mi) across at its widest point and 1.3 km (0.8 mi) from the mouth to the beach. The northeastern head of the bay is the Fingal headland, which is connected to the mainland via Fingal Spit, a sand spit approximately 900 m (2,953 ft) long. Waters to the northeast of the spit are known as "Fly Roads". Crossing between the mainland and the headland along the spit is considered dangerous. According to a sign on the beach, people have died crossing the spit, which can be covered by breaking waves at times. The south-western head of the bay is Fingal Head, which is located southeast of the town. Between the two heads, the mouth is over 1 km (0.6 mi) wide. The bay includes a sandy beach approximately 1.9 km (1.2 mi) long.
