Head north from Lawrencetown toward Seaforth and take a right at the sign indicating fisherman's Reserve. Park beside the fishing shacks at the dirt parking lot overlooking a beach break. Suit up at your car and walk to the left toward the furthest point you can see to the north. You cannot see the break from the parking lot, but its there. Camping at the spot is also permitted and is encouraged by the locals as it is a bit of a walk. Don't worry about the parking locals are great!!!!!!
