The pond can found at the eastern end of Hellshire, north of Fort Clarence Beach and west of Fort Clarence (Historical site)

The Great Salt Pond can be described as an Estuarine / Mangrove Biome, or Manga

One river flows into the pond

Originally the pond was separated from the sea by a permanent sand bar which was often breached during periods of heavy rainfall

It was permanently opened by the construction of a channel during the 1970's.

The mangrove forest surrounding the pond is dominated by Rhizophora mangle mixed with bullrush (Typha domingensis).

The salinity of the Great Salt Pond is variable depending on rainfall and evaporation.
