An exposed back beach on the Mornington Peninsula's ocean side, between Rye and Gunnamatta, where powerful peaks and barrels form over shifting sandbanks. It takes SW swell head-on, with N to NE winds and mid to high tide. Summer brings fun days; from autumn to spring it gets heavy. Nobody patrols the beach and the rips are strong.
