Turners Beach
Edit SpotAbout
I enjoy surfing this spot and so do many of the campers at Calypso
Additional Info:
Turners is the beach that was formed when the Clarence River Breakwater was built on the Yamba side of the river. The beach is consistent and has a right of the headland, a hollow left off the breakwater and usually an A frame peak in the middle. Can be a tough paddle out due to the shallow bottom
