Police say a fisherman who was swept to his death off rocks south of Catherine Hill Bay was wearing a life jacket.
Emergency services were called to Snapper Point at about 8 o'clock on Saturday morning after receiving reports the man had been swept into the sea.
His body was found on a rock ledge off Frasers Beach about 24 hours later.
Lifesavers say the man was wearing a life jacket but it came off in the water.
At least 19 people have been lost between Wybung Point and Catherine Hill Bay since 2011.
A report is being prepared for the Coroner.
