"This is a charming bay to visit when we aren't seeking total seclusion. We can drop anchor and relax, yet still indulge in people-watching. If we feel like stretching our legs, we hike the trail which leads from the marina up to Skinner Bluff and Mount Tzuhalem.
More often than not we opt to eat out when we visit here because the local restaurant (Genoa Bay Cafe) has a justified reputation for excellence."
