Why people come here
Tinley Manor has long been a fishing village. Anglers work the rocks and the gullies at both ends of the beach, and on good days the ski boats are out beyond the backline before sunrise.
It’s quiet, there’s space to cast, and you’re back at the car in a few minutes.
From the rocks and the beach
Fish the rocks at low tide and the gullies as the tide comes in. Wear proper shoes, keep an eye on the swell and never turn your back on the sea.
Ski boats
The ski boat club on the point is where local boats launch through the surf. If you’re visiting, ask at the club about launching and the rules before you go out.
Permits and rules
You need a recreational fishing permit, which you can buy at the Post Office. Size and bag limits apply to most species, so check the current rules for what you catch, and take your line and rubbish home with you.
