Additional Information

Theres not much of a beach anymore due to the recent storms but the sand-bar is fine and the surf is usaully good. Watch out for entering boats!

Atmosphere

Not very consistent. But its good to stick around just in case it cranks.

General

Well if Ramsgate is working (it never does) dont come here...and most the days Ramsgate main Beach doesnt work so come to Ski-Boat Bay then. Barely any swimmers or even other surfers even throughout the summer months.

This spot is awesome in May.
