general information

Peaky waves in beautiful surroundings make it a worthwhile trip to the is pleasant but eroding beach break. The waves are performance orientated walls with occasional barrel sections at high tide. There is a bit of submerged organic material here and strong currents to watch out for. Great camping facilities make it a worthwhile place to bring the family.
