Hardwicke Bay initially evolved as a small shack settlement for the locals on weekends and a base for professional fisherman in the 1940’s. The council opened land up in the 1960’s and a farmer subdivided his land in the 1980’s. Today the bay is rapidly developing with permanent and holiday dwellings.
