Frequently Asked Questions
At the Snug Cove wharf, a still-working fishing port on Twofold Bay, one of the deepest natural anchorages in the Southern Hemisphere. The village is a few minutes' walk away.
Yes, the main street sits at the top of the hill: a short but steady climb from Snug Cove. Nothing punishing, but you'll want reasonable shoes and a little breath.
Until the 1930s, Eden's whalers hunted with the help of a pod of killer whales. Led by a male named Old Tom, the orcas herded larger whales into the bay and alerted the crews by slapping the water, then received the tongue and lips of the catch — the so-called law of the tongue. There is no other documented case like it.
Old Tom's skeleton, still marked by the wear of the ropes he gripped in his teeth. The surrounding rooms cover shipwrecks, lighthouses and the coast's maritime life, with archives, photographs and first-hand accounts. Do this one first.
May to November, when humpback and southern right whales pass along the coast on migration and pause in Twofold Bay. Watching trips leave from Snug Cove, and land-based lookouts let you scan for blows and breaches without boarding a boat.
The Killer Whale Museum, a wander along the main street and Rotary Park for the view across the whole bay, then a fish or oyster lunch at the wharf. In season, a whale-watching trip replaces the rest.
Fried fish and oysters: the oyster leases on the nearby lakes are among Australia's most respected, and the wharf counters serve from morning to night while trawlers unload under the eye of the pelicans.
Yes, the pale sand beaches around the bay invite it, but the water is bracing: the Southern Ocean is never far away. This is not a tropical beach call.
Australian dollars and English. Cards work at the museum, in cafés and at the wharf counters, though services in a small coastal village stay modest.
Yes, the coastline here is remarkably well preserved. Excursions reach the coastal paths of the neighbouring national park, among rust-coloured cliffs, coves and eucalypt forest loud with cockatoos; some routes pass the old Davidson whaling station.
