It doesn't get any fresher than eating oysters fresh out of the ocean. So we invite you to pop on some waders, wade out into the waters, harvest oysters straight off the rack*, and enjoy our authentic oyster farm tasting experience.

Honeymoon Bay - Just around from Richardsons Beach, a beautiful idyllic bay with a beach.
