About This Spot
A long pier divides this consistent Central Coast beach break. The north side offers peaky lefts and rights with more punch, while the south side is mellower and better for learners. It catches most W and NW swells and can be rippable on a mid tide.
Local Etiquette
Don't paddle between the pier pilings; respect fishermen and other beach users.
