This spot is nice whe all the perth beaches are blown out or messy, this spot can be fun, smallish, clean barrels in summer but can be choppy with the wrong winds. Mainly are a bodyboarders break and watch out for sharks, its shark infested. Can walk across to island which can take between 20-30 mins or catch ferry.
Atmosphere
Can be very nice spot in summer, only crowded in perfect conditions. The reefs are located on the western side with numerous reef breaks careful for the shallow water and sharks in winter can be quick and ledgy. What are ya waiting for go get out there!
