Stop on N3 about 3km from town heading West. Walk through banana field until you reach the horse-shoe shaped bay with a groovy left reef / point break wrapping and running for about 200-300m. Not easy to access beach - perhaps a boat ride or jet ski from town is best. DistanceTake a car WalkInstant access (< 5min) Easy to find?Easy to find Public access?Don't know Special access |

I had no board but stood and watched, took photos for 30 minutes! I checked the surf reports data and that day was 1 ft 6s South, so one can only imagine when its > 1ft with decent period :) There were no other waves in the area that compared to this for size and quality
