shit hole - this beach is the worst beach i have ever surfed. it can't hold up in a 6 foot swell.

- I live here and surf this place all the time, unfortunatly there is lots of sharks, I see one at least every 2 surfs. The sharks are big tiger sharks. Gallows and McCauleys are heaps better more consistent places to surf and no sharks.
