general information

On the south side of the island down toward the west end. Access is via a walk in following the track. This place is quite rugged and along way from help if you need it! Kingscote is over 1 hour away.

This wave is not suited to beginners. The beach breaks can be fun, especially in smaller swells and the point can get serious when the swell is up. Plenty of rips and moving water here. Also known as a sharky place so keep an eye out. Gets cold in winter!!!
