Visitor Reviews of Long Bay Reef


Troy S from NEW ZEALAND writes:

When a northerly swells from tropical cyclones in the pacific hit, Long Bay can be as good as any world class break. Waves form on the southern reef as well as the changing sand bars straight out from the beach. Excellent beach break for beginers with clean waves often in the 1ft range.
