Farnborough
Edit SpotAbout
It can be a good spot and it can also be flat. I've seen it 6 foot and barreling and I've seen it 2 inches. You can snake the local blokes and they dont do shit:). There'all good blokes.
Atmosphere:
You'll have no hassle getting a wave unless it's high tide on a weekend there will be about 150 people out on a good day.
Additional Info:
It's just a normal beach break and can get barreling at high tide.

It's past yeppoon, you go past ridges resort then find the trail that leads to the beach, or you can just drive along the beach untill you get past the islands where there will be more swell.
Well starting from yeppoon. Head north on Farnbough road before you get to the Rydges resort turn right and head to Bangalee. At Bangalee there'se beach acess (4x4). Head up the beach for a while. when you see some little green signs saying big dune surfing reserve jump out and grab your board and your there. :)
