Location
Loading...Access
You have to walk from Tunks carpark east down the beach. After about 2kms you will find the shelf opposite a triangular sand hill with 3 saltbushes on top. Breaks quick and from deep water so you're best off with a lid or very quick feet. Only been surfed a few times on a massive west swell. when its on its on!!!!
