Access
Very accessible. Walking distance from main town Kingston. Plenty of parking near Kingston Jetty. Check rocky shoreline on both sides of jetty then follow shoreline east towards Emily Bay. You can stay on flat ground along road which runs parallel to shore or you can walk along sand and rocks at low tide. Birds will vary by tide levels and time of day of course. Slaughter Bay & Emily Bay are beautiful spots to swim and snorkle after birding.
