In context.

A wide, 3km west-facing Blue Flag beach with a sandy-bottom beach break producing long, rolling left and right peaks across multiple sections, with a more sheltered spot at the south end. Popular with surfers, windsurfers, kitesurfers, and swimmers; no reef or rock hazards reported, though it closes out in larger swell. Lifeguards patrol daily 1 June-15 September, noon-6:30pm. Mid-to-high tide gives cleaner peaks; the break closes out at low tide.
