Dont be here when there is no beach Ie high tide. Can get gnarly when big. Lefthander at the south end is fun and packed with spongers. Spectacular scenery. There is also a righthand reef break around the south headland which gets super hollow and very gnarly but can give good tubes as well as ripped off fins. Access to this is by paddling around from t-strand.
Atmosphere
General
Good for a bit of fun but can get a bit crowded in summer, especially cramped at higher tides when the beach starts getting smaller.

still waiting - tell me which exactly which ones should not be on this site and I will remove them.... As to your suggestion, there is no way I can check every photo on this site against every possible photo ever published on every other site... think about it. So you tell me, URL of spot and photo number, I'll remove the photo.

copyright - well webmaster, why not practice as you preach and take the photos off then. seems like you actually still want the photo up but would like to pass on the blame... would be interesting to see if this gets posted without the photos going (like the barrel shot from stormrider)better still, why not just close the evil site down completely so we don't have to keep checking that our fave spots aren't getting too much publicity....

High tide trouble - don't be in the sea after the sand disappears. dangerous, although sick at low tide
