Quite tricky...to get here you have to head towards Sconset from town, down Threemilestone Road and take the right down a road called Old Tom Nevers...follow it all the way down along side what I think is an Air field...then take the left down the dirt track and follow it all the way to the cliff..This takes about 10mins...Park, get out and jump in.

You can get some great pictures from the top of the (very small) cliff over looking the peaks...
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is pretty chilled...not a lot of people know about it, so there tends to be little crowding. It's a beautiful set-up and when it works it definately warrants the 'regional classic' rating. It needs a big swell to work though and you've got to time it right to get the low or outgoing mid-tide.
General
A really nice spot that can hold a decent swell. If the sand bars are in order, there are 2 distinct peaks with the outside left and right the choice direction. The shark warning is only a precaution...we're NOT talking SA, Oz or Florida style dangers..

Swell and wind directions aren't right - the swell and wind direction should be opposite of what is stated
