Town Beach

Edit Spot
About

Great place to surf... a relaxed atmosphere that has produced some awesome surfers and body boarders like; Damien King, Eppo, Mick Campbell, Darren O'Raffety, Mick Caine, Huddo and so on. So be chill and please dont come and take over our beaches and hog all the waves!

Atmosphere:
Its not a bad place to surf.. although it does get a bit rediculous in the summer when the tourists come and take over the beach. But through out the year its usually fairly chill. If towns isnt working, your best bet is to drive along Pacific drive untill you get to Lighthouse Beach. Most of the time one of the two beaches is working.

Additional Info:
You can either surf off the breakwall which is good on small to moderate days. But when it really starts pumping its much better out on the bar. If you go out on Flag staff hill you can swim to the bar much easier then the paddle from the beach.
