Kings Beach

Edit Spot
About

Great fun, heaps of chicks.
+
Very average place to surf when there is no swell, which for most of this year has been the case.

Atmosphere:
In all Kings Beach is a great spot to learn to surf or to just bust out for the local photogs and chicks. Everyone around kings is friendly except for the occasional loudmouth or old ladies.
+
The atmosphere is very touristy, with inexperienced surfers learning to ride small waves.

Additional Info:
Nice place to park your car is off Dingle St near groyne or off Merima St off the main break.
+
The swell is consistantly small, the locals say they have not had much swell on the beach for almost a year. The best place to surf is on the headland at the northern end of the beach or closer to the rocks at the southern end of the beach depending on winds.
