Lord Howe Island Hand Feeding Fish

Hand feeding the fish is a popular activity on Lord Howe Island that everyone can enjoy. Hundreds of fish congregate in the shallow waters of Ned`s Beach and can be hand-fed with bread at any time of the day. In December 2004 Ned`s Beach was proclaimed a Sanctuary Zone in the Lord Howe Island Marine Park, so `Carter` the islander who fed the fish with restaurant left-overs for the past 30 years is no longer allowed to do so! Along the lagoon reefs, the unique double-header wrasse and colourful reef fish can be hand-fed with sea urchins from a glass-bottomed boat.
