Fingal Spit, Sandy beach with connecting spit in Shoal Bay, Australia
The Fingal Spit extends from the mainland to Fingal Island, creating a natural walkway that changes with tides and ocean conditions.
The Point Stephens Lighthouse, constructed in 1862, stands on Fingal Island and guided ships through the treacherous coastal waters for generations.
Local fishermen gather at Fingal Beach throughout the year to catch various fish species while maintaining traditional fishing practices.
Access to the beach includes parking facilities, electric barbecues, restrooms, and a modern surf club with a restaurant and coffee shop.
The sand spit formation creates two distinct water environments: the protected bay side for swimming and the ocean side with stronger waves.
