This is a good site to build up your hours with easy ridge soaring and great views North to Whale Beach. Take care on Summer days as the sea breeze will nearly always strengthen

A grassy area near the crown of the headland that is approximately level. There is space for a couple of gliders. This launch gets quite a lot of compression in stronger conditions. The sand spit on the point. On the beach in front of the Golf Club next to the lower car park (you only need to be above the ridge at the north western end to make the glide to the beach). Watch the pine trees though, their lower branches reach out over the sand. The boat launch is a raised concrete ramp and quite hard! If you should get low then it is possible to bomb out on the various bits of sand in front of the takeoff. However at high tide the area of sand is rather narrow. Top landing is relatively easy, approach from the north west, or south east as appropriate for the bias in the breeze. Take care to look out for spectators as this is a very popular walk. On the North East face of Long Reef Point, 45 minutes drive from the city. Park in the car park on the northern side of Long Reef (near the golf club) then walk up to the lookout. Alternatively you can park in the Long Reef beach car park on the southern side of the headland and walk along the Greenlink track. There are parking meters in both car parks. Lower Level of controlled airspace is at 2500' Lower Level of controlled airspace is at 2500'

Strong compression at times, getting blown over the back would not be good for your health.
