Description of McGowan Island
A beautiful flat area for campers, although quite exposed along a very pretty beach. Very basic facilities are available at McGowan

area and fees apply.
Visitors arriving with their own boat will find easy access to the water but the available bounties must be worth it because this spot is very popular for
fishing
.
Various
tours
, such as
fishing
& crabbing are also available for visitors without their own boat.

Great outlook across the bay. There are some quite sheltered options in amongst the trees. Excellent drinking water. This is definitely the best place to stay in those parts.
