Park in the small parking area off the road and walk down the track to the coast. When you reach the gully at the bottom cross over to the left hand side and make you way to the left hand side cliff top. Take off is just to the right of the bowl on the cliff top, all of the cliff top is a good grassy area. You should top land here as well, the beach is very small (non existent at high tide) and very rocky. Quite a few injuries have happened here as a result of beach landings.
Avoid Beach landings, as the beach is very small or non existent. Beware when flying around cliff corner on left hand side of Launch that you have enough height to get around - a number of pilots have been hurt in emergency landings due to insufficient height to capture lift band. Beware rotor/turbulence that can occur on point to left hand side of launch if wind is too cross.
