Atmosphere:
this spot is laid back the locals are nice so long as ur not a complete kook and u don't drop in and be a sydney spastik.
Additional Info:
there are multiple breaks a word to the wise the beach is dangerous in anything 6ft ^ on a south swell its crazy watch the fat rock near the point there's a good reef just around the corner of the point (back reef). There's also a good break in the centre of the beach at low tide.
