Largs Bay (232F) is a 4 km long west facing curving shoreline, which receives low waves and is often calm with the accumulating sand shoaling the bay floor as well as widening the beach. The end of the Largs Bay jetty now stands in shallow water.

Swimming

This is relative safe section of beach owing to the usually low waves and shallow water. Care need be taken with young children as the water depth varies over the bars and troughs and there are some deeper holes.

Surfing

There is usually no surf up here. You need a very strong southwesterly or huge ocean swell to push rideable waves up into Largs Bay.

Fishing

The jetties are the most popular spots for fishing, with the beaches very shallow.

General

A low energy but still dynamic section of beach that is continuing to grow seaward. There is excellent access and large areas of protected dune, plus the beach and bars to play on.
