<MENU>Located on the Northern side of Broken Bay as you turn West after rounding West Head. Patonga has a general store, bottle shop and well known fish and chip shop. It is home to a small fleet of commercial fishing boats that ply the waters of Broken Bay and is well frequented by a number of friendly pelicans. Very sleepy village atmosphere and could be a chance to pick up day visitors from the Central Coast. The area to the North East of the ferry wharf is particularly shallow and shoals to a constant shallow depth from a surprisingly long way out. Don't get sucked in to this area at high tide to come back and find the yacht on the sand at low tide.
<P>Patonga is prone to sea swell rolling down towards the Hawkesbury entrance, and strong tidal movement (up to 3 knots) and is not a comfortable place to stop unless there is virtually no swell.
<P>It is a good place to pick up a few provisions or have a coffee and fish and chips and soak up the atmosphere of a village that time forgot. Once again there is a ferry wharf used by commercial ferries so keep the entrance clear.<BR><BR><BR>

<TD align=top><B><U>Little Patonga</U></B><BR>Home to NSW Sport and recreation camp. Nice little Bay to the West of Patonga and much more protected. Great for a lunch time stop with protection from NE winds when tucked up under the Eastern Headland. It's worth a reckie into the camp just for future reference if you have kids, they run some greta water based programs in the school holidays. Nice Bay for a swim off the back of the yacht, they tend to be a bit protective of the beach.</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE></P></MENU></MENU>
