Goolwa
Edit SpotAbout
Nothing special but a good beach for lying around on or learning.
Additional Info:
Not a great spot but very occasionally gets good. This is the place to go if the swell is too big for Waits and Parsons but to small for some of the other breaks around Middleton or Pt Elliot. A really long paddle out especially onshore conditions. Sometimes has strong longshore rips.
