Misty Cliffs
Edit SpotAbout
lekker, popular spot.
Atmosphere:
Some of the best barrels had here. Awsome spot.
Additional Info:
Further down from crayfish, is a misty beach aptly named. Believe it or not, it has also been the destination for poor souls spat out of the back end of the Factory. It's a lekker sandbar - mostly rights - that works well when the swell is SW clean, usually when other spots are too small. Winter it pomps. Gets excellent.
