The Farm in Shell Harbour is a fun/mellow beach break breaking over a sand bottom. It usually has well-formed peaky waves with decent sandbanks. It’s a bit of a swell magnet and is nicely exposed to southerly winds. Also offers decent protection from north winds making it a popular spot during summer Northeasterly trade winds. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and can break for up to 100 meters, providing fun sections for manoeuvres.

Beach break OVER Sand BOTTOM

Getting there

Going south from Shell Harbour on the south side of Bass Point the next break you come to is “The Farm”. It can be a little tricky to find the first time, when coming from the north go past Shell Harbour on the Shellharbour Road and a couple of klicks later you’ll come to a golf course, turn left as if going golfing but drive on by and through the housing estate following signs into the nature reserve, follow your nose from there and you should find it.
