Diamond Head
Edit SpotAbout
It is a bit of a families beach, in the holidays it can get pretty crowded. But its a pretty good beach.
Atmosphere:
this is an awsome spot on good days but isnt always consistant.good for longboarders and all surfers, good bodyboarding surf when the waves are tops. there is also a good secret spot on the reef that picks up really good most days. learnt all my tricks there (inverts ARS barrel rolls)
Additional Info:
there is parking up in the camping ground but if camping up there u have to buy a parking ticket, showers/toilets also avaliable on camping ground.
when out in the surf make sur to get as much energy out of the wave as u can if going for inverts and aerial type tricks as the waves arent very powerful. also watch out for the occasional longboarder
