The Big Bay area always use to be a little bit rugged. Besides for the unspectacular grassy area and life-saving club building, all that this area use to have a small shop where one could buy ice cream, cooldrinks and crisps.
Development on Eden on the Bay (map) started a couple of years ago and today the area looks completely different to how it did before. This grassy area stretches out between the long sandy beach and the shopping area called Eden on the Bay. Today you'll find several lovely restaurants looking out over this lawn, as well as a few shops and fast-food outlets in the small mall.
However lovely Eden on the Bay is, Big Bay is still a terrible place on windy days. However, on days with only a slight breeze (or no wind at all) it's an awesome place to visit.
