General Description
Long section of Sand stretching from Crazy Birds in Surf Beach to the Forest Caves rock outcrop, about 1 km.
Breaks are constantly moving due to sand movement, you will find a right point break all the way down the West end of the beach, as you head east you come across multiple peaks which can have crushing force in close out barrels, sit in the right spots and you can get some mad long running lefts and rights.
Rips can get crazy here pulling you down the beach very quickly, best at Incoming to High tide.
Not a Swimming Beach - go to Woolies or Smiths between the flags.
