Sandon Point
Edit SpotAbout
Compared to Austinmer it is very long and good. There are lots of small reef sharks and fish. Watch out for the sea urchins when your getting in and out. poor atmosphere. mainly locals dropping in on bodyboarders and younger lads (grommits)
Atmosphere:
This is one of the most perfect, all-time, barrelling rights in the world. locals will bash the p*** out of u if u look at them. Breaks in any swell although from 1 to 5ft is good for beginners. 6ft and above hell paddle, long rides
Additional Info:
Park your car in the carpark next to the biketrack and walk down the hill and jump of the rocks.. dont pull out or u will get a face full of rock
