If surfing isn't your thing, don't worry. You can still enjoy the beautiful scenery by basking on the white sand beach, reading a book, or playing frisbee with your dog. And when you're feeling thirsty or hungry, head over to the beachside café for some refreshments.

While waves are seasonal and may be small in the summer, the best time to catch the swells is from September to April. During this period, the waves become strong and ferocious, making it the perfect time to catch some epic waves. Alternatively, you can try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding or bodyboarding when the wind is calm. For those who want to get some exercise, we recommend hiking to Big Wave Bay through the Dragon Back trail. Check out our article of Dragon Back trail for more information on this beautiful hike. So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, grab your sunscreen, and head over to Big Wave Bay for a day of fun in the sun!
