Hirtles
Edit SpotAbout
A ok spot for beginners, very boring for any surfer who can catch waves as the majority of waves are closeouts
Atmosphere:
Great weekend spot. Usually some people around and the surf is consistent. Plus, Lunenburg is just 15 min away with lots of great food and Drink.
Camp at the Ovens Campground nearby and set up your tent at the edge of the ocean.
Additional Info:
Hirtles Beach is located in the beautiful community of Kingsburg (if you have to ask how much the "cottages" cost... you don't want to know).
The beach is massive (1km) and clean, white sand.
