on our southbound journey from Byron, we pulled into an area called "The Lakes Way." Just south of the sleepy retirement town of Forster, this area feels untouched and very uncrowded. As you drive south, you'll have a pristine lake on your right and an empty beach on your left.
Just north of the town of Pacific Palms, we pulled into Elizabeth Bay and this was the scene:
Only a couple guys out. But it was a bit too small for us, so we went and checked out Boomerang beach, another killer setup with tons of potential.
After that, we went to a really secluded, hard to get to beach that Graham told us to check: Cellito Beach. At the end of an unmarked, unnamed dirt road, Cellito is a local's secret spot. On a big south swell, it's lefthand point break lights up. Unfortunately, it wasn't working for us:
Cellito beach is gorgeous, and empty:
Cam walked around the corner from the point, trying to see if there was a hidden righthander on that side. Alas, all there was were some beautiful rocks and tide pools:
This little stretch of coast was really special. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Just plug "Pacific Palms" into your GPS and go. Then take some time to check each of the many beautiful beaches!
