This spot is prized by snorkelers and shore divers for its large rock pools, gullies, ledges and gutters that lie close to shore, offering depths from 3 to 10 m. The western end leads toward Prickly Rocks and Glenn Point, while the eastern end opens up around Jessie Kirkwoods Rock — both directions rich with rocky reef habitat. Backed by 10-20 m dunes and only fully accessible at mid-to-high tide, it offers a more sheltered ocean entry than many of the peninsula's wilder back beaches, making it a rewarding yet still adventurous snorkel destination.","intermediate",null,"published",{"name":59,"amplitude":75,"phase":91,"latitude":22,"model":107,"epoch":108},[60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74],"2N2","J1","K1","K2","M2","M4","MF","MM","N2","O1","P1","Q1","S1","S2","T2",[76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90],0.01518292922640474,0.01472168794339704,0.2155732427365139,0.047741180988985624,0.7146294438004043,0.0485776342591161,0.006695082368918923,0.006271020015272035,0.14601752475277144,0.15123126870810275,0.06594009495004506,0.03337316900793892,0.013468462951739814,0.20394125347557102,0.021713807928545815,[92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106],302.1631015167527,298.7176095127919,271.3918072985951,156.97924453406665,31.38161022641543,141.6326019564649,171.65689595655897,233.23454694124558,351.7257123300841,251.3588879870997,263.4414581883648,241.78128985020675,0.8177182716631818,156.54102600930918,161.48724200406718,"EOT20","1992-01-01T00:00:00Z",[110,116,119,123,126,129,132,135,138,141,144,147,150],{"name":111,"description":112,"severity":113,"season_start":114,"season_end":115},"Rough surf and swell","Ocean-facing beach with powerful waves and dumpers, especially as tides change.
