The beach itself is the primary fishing spot. Anglers should focus on identifying natural structures within the surf zone, such as deeper gutters between sandbars, which act as highways for fish. The areas near the headlands or gaps in the rock formations that give the beach its name can also concentrate fish. Nearby Kianinny Bay and the Tathra Wharf area, located approximately 5-6 kilometers away, offer alternative rock and wharf fishing opportunities.
