Activities
Snorkeling
We are blessed with a shipwreck in knee deep water at low tide & an amazing natural tidal pool right on our doorstep. These areas are filled with an array of wonderful sea life that will amaze young and old.
Just remember, don't touch anything!
"If something moves slow enough for you to touch it underwater, it simply means that it does not have to rely on speed for protection." Jacques Cousteau
Freediving & Spearfishing
A safe and simple shore entry is easily achieved by experienced freedivers right in front of the house. This gives you access to a very large reef structure that can be explored for hours on end in depths ranging from 3-30 meters. Please do not attempt this shore entry unless you are being supervised by an instructor or very experienced freediver who knows these currents.
It is recommended to bring a boat (twin engined) for offshore spearfishing as this will give you access to some amazing reefs holding a variety of game fish including Yellow Fin Tuna, Marlin, Wahoo, Barracuda, King Mackerel & Kingfish, including the almighty GT.
GPS Coordinates for Spearfishing & Fishing spots can be sent to you on request.
Fishing
Whether you prefer shore angling, fly fishing or trolling something colorful behind your vessel, this area is for you. Amazing fish can be caught in a variety of different areas ranging from offshore pinnacles, estuaries or by simply casting your bait behind the surf line right in front of the house.
Whale Watching etc.
Whales, Whalesharks, jumping Rays and Dolphins are often spotted right from the dining table. Keep your eyes peeled to witness these amazing animals in action right in front of Miramar Barra.
Birding
There are hides and walkways on the nearby estuary which offer amazing opportunities to spot a variety of interesting and sometimes rare creatures.
Walks
Tofo is a very popular early morning hike. Alternatively, a leisurely stroll down to some of the beach bars and restaurants for a sundowner may be more to your liking.
Kite surfing and Kayaking
These are very popular in this area, so make sure that you bring your gear to take advantage of the massive soft beaches and variety of paddling destinations.
