Walk round to the left of the car park and paddle out under the cliff (Long Paddle to the Peak!)
No matter how excited you are about the swell - drive slowly through the village - people live here, and no wave is worth a kids life.
And do pay at the gate, its not much, but it is someone's livelihood!! The 'bad-boy' surfer stereotype is for muppets and kooks only.

Atmosphere
Mostly older longboarders catching their waves way outside which can be annoying on a shortboard, usually when "the bench" gets good they all go over there leaving it relatively crowd free at "the ledges".

General
All in all this is a classic spot that, when its on, IS ON! Very hard to tell what the swell will be doing until you actually pull up in the car park as tides and swell direction affect the break a lot, oh yeah with a BIG swell and and BIG tide, dont swallow too much water as the sewage is not only visible but you can smell it too!
