Home Beach

 

The beach faces north-north-east toward Shag Rock, 1.5 km offshore. Sand waves change over time, so too does the nature of the shoreline, bars and surf. There is access to the beach at Adder Rock, at some access tracks along the beach, and at the east end, below the Point Lookout Hotel headland.



Home Beach was named from the era when the only route to Point Lookout was from Amity via Flinders Beach. When the bus got to Adder Rock, the last beach was called Home Beach because it was almost home. 



Generally low to moderate plunging waves along a dynamic beachfront. Home Beach is not patrolled, the safest swimming is at the patrolled Cylinder Beach. Be careful of strong westerly drift and rips, when waves exceed 1m.


SURFING 

Not usually suitable conditions.


FISHING 

A range of holes and gutters associated with the bars and sand waves.


DOGS

Off leash under owner’s supervision.
