Naming Mandalay Beach
Mandalay Beach is named because of the famous wreck of the three-masted Norwegian Barque (ship) Mandalay, which came to shore on the 15th of May 1911 with all twelve crew members safely but thoroughly marooned.
Thanks to the second mate finding a local pioneer Frank Thompson, they only had a 4 day wait until assistance arrived.
