Nine and a half kilometres north of Urangan and the sand just appears out of the water: white silica, blue-green shallows, and a cay that grows all afternoon as the tide drops. Pelican Bank sits between fast deep-water channels on the run across to Moon Point, with fishing off the ledges and not a dingo in sight. Anchor up, let the kids loose, and keep half an eye on the current.
