Shipwreck Bay is well known for excellent surf with big, long rides. The bay is sandy with a few rocks around the point. Shipwreck Bay has two waves, with 'Shipwreck Bay' or 'Wreck Bay' being the left-hand point break coming through onto the beach, and 'Peaks' further out, round to the west, also a left-hand point break. The 'Wreck' is a softer, cruisy wave with a nice long ride. On a good day, 'Peaks' has a gnarly take off with an awesome barrel section, that continues into a nice wally wave that will treat you to a really long ride. You may want to walk back round the beach to join the line-up. 'Peaks' is a long walk to get to or if you have a 4WD you can drive around on the beach. Be careful of rips.
