Turkey colonies - the fundamental difference between this place and rest bay is that the local cammels choose Rest Bay for the annual gathering when the crickets are rising.

i agree - the spot is packed with "hardcore" surfers who don't have a care for people just having fun.., i completely agreee with south wales ripper. i have seen the people in the ripcurl wetsuits and just snake, drop in on everyone and just cause havoc in the line up. i DO NOT RECOMMENT this spot to anyone. Also that ledges wave it the most unconsistant piece of crap i have ever surfed which breaks over sand .... pure close-out.
