Head from Maroochydore towards Coolum on the coast road, after you pass Mt Coolum look out for the suburb of Yaroomba (has a sign). Just as the road curves up and over the hill turn right where all the untis are, head down till you see the car park with the toilet block, then walk down the hill.

Look-out Carpark gets crowded on NE wind days as one of few spots to work with NE wind & swell
This place is a local's spot, barely anyone knows about it, so keep it quiet, this place is great when everywhere else is blown out.
Atmosphere
This place is really incredible when it works, and great because its rarely crowded, give it try sometime.
General
Great little place to get away from everything and just have a surf.

Heavy bazzas. - Ybar has a mad wave for everyone except learners (the reef for chargers, the wedge to the right pf stop rock and demons for bodyboarders and for the stand ups' the whole rest of the beach) basicaly let the boogers have the north side of stoppies and surfer have the right. we can all share the green rooms.
Ps why is it that on a weekday or when the classics' on the surfers think there top shit but when the pro bodyboarders are out you seem to shut up?
