Surf: Relief from the masses requires a long walk through the National Park to A-Bay, which is a consistent beachbreak that picks up any swell going. NE-SE windswell will be breaking here when everywhere else looks flat and the peaks can have some push around headhigh. Exposed to the sea-breezes, SW-N winds will be offshore and it's a classic Qld bush-backed beach that is worth making the effort to surf. Environment: Long slog from the National car park or else take the paths north from Sunshine Beach. Keeps the numbers down in the water but it is a popular nudie beach.
