Spanish Point Beach
Edit SpotAbout
My family are from this area, and I learned to surf here, so I quite like the place.
Atmosphere:
Spanish Point Beach can only be rated as an average break at best. Some years it can work fairly well when the winter storms leave down a sand bank or two - but most years it just closes out. Nevertheless it's definitely a nice place to go if you're a beginner, or on a longboard.
Additional Info:
It's not the reefs. Only the beach breaks. Some years a sandback can result in a left-hander near the black rock opposite the Lifeguard hut, but generally it's fairly poor. Definitely good for beginners.
