About this place
What to expect
Soldiers Beach, on the south side of the head, faces southeast and, with a well protected north end, is a favourite with board-riders when the summer northeaster is up. Sweetly-curved one kilometre in length, the beach features clusters of rocks that build nice sand-covered reefs but demand due care when falling off your board. There are reliable waves year-round, best when the swell comes in from the south or east. The left-hand point-break is beloved of long-boarders, although as soon as it gets over two metres the short-boarders take an interest in it too. For beach patrol dates and times, please see website. People with a disability will now find it easier to access Soldiers Beach with a Sand Cruiser wheelchair available for bookings. Contact Soldiers Beach Surf Club for bookings.
