Source & verification

Details for Moolap Reef come from the official source, retrieved 30 September 2026.

Source detail: VFA rock recreational fishing reefs page publishes the coordinate [coordinate withheld] (GDA94); converted to decimal degrees, not geocoded. It is an offshore reef 2.8 km from the baked coastline, so the 1.5 km suburb check does not apply to this published mark. CAPAD marine query: no protected area within 500 m.

Conditions change. Access closes, sand moves and structure shifts — check locally before you travel a long way.
