Residents and visitors enjoy fishing for whitebait, flounder, trout or salmon.
Other activities also appeal - such as wandering along the beach, viewing the seals and Hector dolphin's at play or riding four wheeled motorbikes all the way to Birdlings Flat, well known for the semi-precious stones which are found on its beach.
At the village, a well-maintained boat ramp gives access to the lagoon and river mouth.

A recent inspection of the septic system at the campground showed a number of issues being caused by the dump station to the campground septic system, often overloading the system and stopping it from functioning properly.
There is a dump station located nearby at Southbridge Park Domain, 42 St James Street, Southbridge. You can find other dump stations in Selwyn at Selwyn District Council - Dump Stations.
