The waves and the sand creates a beach, characterized by a bar, usually cut by 4-5 beach rips. The northern rip at Cooks Hill is considered to be the most prominent one.
Numerous surf clubs and training centers can be identified on the spot. There are change room facilities and a cafe/kiosk available all year round.
