Long Beach/Cottons Beach
Long Beach/Cottons Beach
Location
Used by the Emery, Lawrence and Cotton families. George Cotton was the first man to land three large Blue Fin tuna from his nets. His sons, Cornelis and John Cotton, are still operating there. Cornelis has had over 40 years of spotting from the hill above the beach or on the wall next to the railway. A lookout hut can still be found off Paradise Road.
