Elephant Rock Surf Spot is a nice fun right-hand point break that is great for beginners and intermidates. The wave has a nice mellow takeoff with a sand bottom so the risks are low and you can still get nice 75-meter rides on some fun 2-4ft waves. It’s a great place if you’re starting to catch regular green waves and want to learn to turn.
