Quarantine Bay is a 1 km wide south to southeast-facing bay bordered by Murrumbulga and Quandoa points and containing two beaches. Quarantine Bay beach (NSW 687) extends east of the base of the jetty for 150 m, facing south into the eastern sheltered bay area, which is filled with moored boats. The reflective beach is usually calm, sheltered by its location deep with in the bay and the protection afforded by the point and breakwater. There is a large boat ramp and car park occupying 120 m of the jetty-breakwater. It is backed by the old quarantine area now a holiday park. The western shore of the bay is occupied by Legges Beach (NSW 688); a 500 m long beach that faces southeast out toward the bay mouth, and curves to the south between the usually open entrance to Shadrachs Creek and the southern 50 m high Quandoa Point. The Princes Highway runs 500 m west of the beach, and a road from the highway leads to a caravan park that backs most of the low barrier behind the northern half of the beach. Thirty metre high wooded slopes back the southern half. The beach receives low waves and usually has a moderately steep reflective beach. read more
