Marfells Beach

Marfells Beach is an open beach that gets quite exposed to the wind. Its a beach break on a sandy beach, with several peaks down the beach, offering both right and left handers. The wave is often small, fairly soft and fat, good for mals. Great for beginner and intermediate surfers. Marfells Beach also has a camping ground (DOC).
