general information

A picturesque spot with three surf breaks. To the north end is Dunes, a right hand wall breaking over a mixture of sand and reef seabed. Next is a sandy beach break strangley named Cobblestones, which needs a small clean swell to serve up punchy little barrels. The southern most peak is South Moss, the takeoff is powerful and steep but it quickly fattens out down the line but it can handle some size and is better on a lower tide.

Access is via the Spanish Bay Golf Course and Resort and you need to pay to get in.
