The Basin is a well known bathing area in beautiful Bargara. It’s a pool that was built many years ago out of the local volcanic rocks by the Kanakas from the South Pacific. Today it’s popular with kids with snorkels feeding the fish that enter between the high & low tide. Here’s a Sunday afternoon swim out the back behind the basin on the 26th of May 2019 just days out from winter and still able to swim in shorts, rash shirt, mask, snorkel and basic underwater camera. Very calm conditions with only a small amount of wave motion moving some of the white sand that sits behind the basin around at times. Numerous species of fish, rays and even some corals. All this just 10 mins walk down the road.
