Just 14km from Mystery Bay is the town of Narooma at the mouth of the Wagonga Inlet, not a river but the outlet of some local creeks only. As for all the coastal settlement here there are marina facilities and fishing is a major pastime. The Inlet is protected by dual breakwaters to form the Wagonga Heads for safe entry from the ocean. Off shore from here is Montague island, clearly visible up and down the coast. (Image at left)
Overlooking the heads is Bar Head Lookout with a view out to sea and Northwards along the coastline.
Both breakwaters are easily accessible and it is fairly usual to see Fur Seals basking on the rocks or swimming in the channel (top)
