Descripción

On the East side of Gerrans Bay, Nare Head is over 300 feet high, once known as Penare Point (meaning headland in the Cornish language). The headland has views in all directions. Just off shore to the South East is the Whelps Reef, the scene of many wrecked ships. Part of the reef is the large Gull Rock (Press STAR on map) a nesting area for Gaviota argéntea europea, Cormorán Grande, Cormorán Moñudo, Alca Común and Arao Común. Carne Beach is South facing, the roadside parking near the beach is a good area to look for Colimbo Ártico, Colimbo Grande or the occasional Colimbo Chico (Telescope essential). If this car park (9 spaces) is full there is a larger car park (Fee Payable) next to it surrounded by trees. Check this area for migrants in Spring and Autumn, because the Gerrans Bay area is a busy holiday destination, car parks can fill up early in good weather, but not a problem during Winter. There is a National Trust car park (Fee Payable) near Nare Head.

Being on the East side of Gerrans Bay the Nare Head area suffers with low Winter sun in late afternoons when looking West.
