Description

There are 4 main breaks, The central break infront of the cafe tends to work best. there are two other breaks either side of the cafe, they are reef breaks. there is a tidal pool near to the lifesavers tower, at high tide this becomes a pretty serious shorebreak and can be really good fun for bodyboarders as it'll probably snap your surfboard. its a good idea to watch the locals, as there are a few hidden hazards, nothing too serious though.
