I grew up in 'the Bay'. I have fond memories of swimming on hot afternoons in the bay, and jumping off the ferry wharf. We had a kayak, and also a small tinnie and spent many good times on the water. Quite often we paddled over the channel to Davo Baths in Davistown to see our mates.

Parts of the bay are quite bushy, and there is lots of wildlife and native birds.

Many of the people I have grown up with have remained in the bay, however the suburb is 'being discovered', and property prices are rising here. Some say it has potential to be the next Hardy's Bay. It is only 10 mins to Woy Woy by car to catch trains to City or Newcastle, and is serviced by a ferry service from the bay to Saratoga, Davistown and Woy Woy.

It is only 5 mins drive to Killcare surf beach, where there is great surf and plenty of parking. Not like Terrigal!!

There is a mix of housing styles, from old cottages, 70's brick houses, newer homes where the old ones have been knocked down, to waterfront houses. If you walk along the waterfront, in front of the boat shed, you will see some beautiful "new' houses, which have been designed to look 'old'. So charming, and not vulgar like in so may other waterfont locations.

In addition, the suburb has no more vacant land for development, and there are no ugly blocks of flats blurring the landscape. There is no through traffic either, with only one road in and out.
