Pleasent beach used by surfers. Nice walk from the car park at the top north corner to the south end. Plenty of wave action. Beware surfer dudes in cars and utes travelling at high speed on the dusty roads to catch the wave action :). Surfs up and they dash so it appeared.

Spent a lot of time here with my world War 2, POW, grandfather . His mates often came here as a group because of the pristine beauty and serenity. It is a magical place. Between both beaches the waves have always been consistently good as is the fishing . Great spot to camp. Head to the pub .. check out some of the history of little Marrawah.
