More information about Pondalowie Surf Break.

Known as Pondi. Pondalowie Surf Break is likely the most popular beach in Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park. The car park is some hundreds of metres from the beach, however this allows for a stunning walk through the low sand dunes along a beautifully constructed and maintained boardwalk. As the name suggests this beach is often the venue for surf competitions. It offers regular, medium surf and a long viewing area attached to the boardwalk. The beach stretches over a kilometere from the Pondi fishing village to the northern point. Small islands scatter the view over the surf.
