“Shipwreck Bay is well known for excellent surf, with big long rides.”
Shipwreck Bay is well known for excellent surf, with big long rides. The bay is sandy with a few rocks around the point. Shipwreck Bay has two waves, with shipwreck Bay or Wreck Bay being the left hand point break coming through onto the beach, and Peaks is further out, round to the west, also a left hand point break. The wreck is a softer, cruisy wave with a nice long ride. The peak has a gnarly take off with an awsome barrel section into a nice wally wave that continues for a really long ride, on a good day. You may want to walk back round the beach to join the line up. The peak is a long walk to get to or if you have a 4wd you can drive around on the beach. Be careful of rips.
