Dive-site story
Situated at the northern end of North Solitary Island within the Solitary Islands Marine Park, Anemone Bay sits where warm currents meet temperate coastal flows. Vast carpets of sea anemones spread across rocky ledges and boulder fields, harboring massive colonies of anemonefish. Rocky gutters shelter resting wobbegong sharks, while pelagic species frequently cruise the clearer outer edges of the bay.
