Burrewarra Point is a large headland just south of Batemans Bay on the south coast of New South Wales. There are good snorkeling spots on both the north and south sides of the headland, a good swimming beach on the north side at Guerilla Bay, and a large Banksia forest on the headland with a very pleasant walking track running through it.

Yes, there are fish! Mostly small ones though. The Batemans Marine Park protects this area from mid 2007, so hopefully there will be bigger ones in future.
