Manorbier Surf Guide
A super fun, high tide reef that sits at the western side of the bay, forming peeling right-hand walls that wrap in towards the sand. As reefs go this is pretty user friendly, with an easy paddle round, but that is a blessing and curse as it makes it a popular spot, with the small peak getting crowded quickly. Beginners stick to the small beach.
