Couta Rocks

• Summary
• Weather for Couta Rocks

Plains of buttongrass rolling down to the sea, cray boats bobbing on the harbour - visions of Couta Rocks. Like the nearby Temma Harbour, Couta Rocks is noted for the place where the sea can rage. A not uncommon sight is that of the local fishermen winching their boats out of the water on slips rather than risk them on moorings. This stretch of coast is dubbed the roaring 40s, where prevailing gale-force winds blow persistently from the west.

In 1968 the small fishing villages Couta Rocks and Sarah Anne Rocks opened up after a bridge was built across the Arthur River. Prior to that villagers and visitors alike were forced to punt. This rugged coastline is no Sunday afternoon drive, but adventurous types will be enriched by magnificent landscapes, sweeping views and unforgettable experiences.
