general information
Parsons is the next beach west of Waitpinga along the same road. Just follow the signs to Waits and then go the next turnoff. Car park is on the top of the hill and you need to trek down to the beach about 250m down a well marked path.
Parsons is a bit fickle but can produce good waves when the banks are right. Small to medium swells do tend to be the best with northish winds. Waves are usually powerful and not suited to beginners. Keep an eye out for rips too!
Definately worth a look if you are in the area, you just never know what you might find.
