A swim for everyone
The Hotondo Homes Broulee Bay to Breakers Ocean Swim is a 1.4km ocean swim from Shark Bay on Broulee Island out to the ocean and around the headland to South Broulee (Bengello) Beach. The 1.4km and 500m events offer something for the young, novice or well-seasoned veteran.
Conditions can vary from a peacefully calm swim to south-easterly chop and swell, making for a challenging swim.
The 1.4km course starts at Shark Bay on Broulee Island, swims over the reef and behind the breakers, then finishes on the sands of South Broulee (Bengello) Beach.
