Beach just north of the harbour and a point of land to the south. Very good on SSW-SW winds, when it does work it is a great wave sailing beach. Best from four hours either side of low tide, at high tide there are knarly rocks and big shelf (kit wrecking stuff).

You can have strong winds here, but if SSW-SW and waves wrap in cross shore into the bay. There are a few reefs in the bay, rocks to the north and south of the bay. Access is ok, parking on top of the cliff, a hard carry down and back up but the sailing is worth the hard work, no pain no gain.
