Elliot Bay

Elliot Bay is a beach break on a sandy beach, located just south of the Bay Of Islands, on the east coast, north of Whangarei. Beautiful white sand beach. There are several peaks down the beach to choose from with both right and left handers. The wave is punchy and fun. Picks up more swell than other breaks nearby. Good for all levels of surfer. Popular beach - know the rules and respect the locals. Watch out for swimmers. You will need to cross private property to access the beach, where you will find an honesty box to pay your way.
