Middleton Point
Edit SpotAbout
Nice break although it does get abit choppy, If there is a light Northerly Wind try the point and The Beach as you can get the odd barrel.
Atmosphere:
Pretty nice area but gets quite crowded on weekends.
Additional Info:
Park your car ontop of the cliff and don't worry it wont get stolen! Paddle next to the rocks avoiding the break more.
