Half Moon Bay is known for its curved sandy shoreline, calm water, and views of the HMVS Cerberus wreck sitting offshore. The former nineteenth-century warship was deliberately scuttled in 1926 to act as a breakwater and remains visible from the beach today. Red Bluff cliffs rise beside the bay, adding a distinct backdrop to the coastline. The sheltered water also makes this a popular area for swimming, snorkelling, and kayaking.
