Algies Bay is largely a bedroom community, with lots of homes and families, and one hotel that we could find. For anything nearing the services you'd find in a regular town, you'd need to venture a kilometer or two down to Snells Beach.

Given there's not too much to the place, I was impressed they even had signs at both entrances.	A beach-front home, complete with the mandatory, excessive number of windows to see water.	And a non-beach-front home, with more the usual number (and far easier to heat, too, I'd guess).
If you want to look at Algies Bay from above, it looks a bit like this.	A little local colour, courtesy the local coppers.
