Just to the north of Window Pane Bay, and about an hour’s walk away, is a small rocky cove called Island Bay. The route to Noyhener Beach passes fairly close by so you can make it a side trip on the way, but a more relaxed way to visit is to make it a day trip from Window Pane Bay.
Although the pad from Window Pane Bay to Noyhener Beach is reasonably well defined there is no track to Island Bay so you have to find your own way. It’s a very steep scramble through light scrub to get down to the waterline - the last 20 metres or so is really steep. Fortunately someone had left a fixed rope for the last bit down to the rocks!
I had magnificent weather on the day – clear blue skies, calm sea and low tide.
