 Access

Drive like you would to Cable Bay, turn right at the first (and only) bridge you see. Drive until you get to a little car park on your left (just before road turns to gravel) then paddle across the estary aiming for the left hand side of the bay. Walk over a sand bank, then another short paddle, then get ready for barrels.

 Additional Information

Real shallow at the take off zone, because there is no river there (just an estary) it doesn't flood so the sand bar is perfectly groomed with every outgoing tide.
