Dolls is a good flat water spot for beginner through advanced. Locals are friendly. The tide runs hard which can be good if it's opposing. Many boards have been lost due to the tide. Make sure a buddy collects your board if you down the kite - it can disappear up river our out to sea.

Sand

Small
Hazards:
Rocks, Power Lines
Beach Users:

The beach is terrible north of the rock groyne - narrow at best. Do not launch north of the rock groyne, lots of bathers during summer, power lines right next to the narrow beach, rock walls. Packed on weekends, mid week is great. South of the groyne is much better but beware of a wind shadow in Northeasterlies near the jetty.

Extra Information
Rules:
Other


Having stated that this spot is suitable for beginners, during summer Dolls can get VERY crowded. Please make sure you are aware of right of way rules and remain alert and keep a safe distance from other kiters. It is MANDATORY that all kiters at Dolls Point wear a kite safety leash! This is not an option! Waterways will be notified of any kiter refusing to wear a kite leash. Kites that are not leashed have the potential to end up on the runway so understand that if you don't wear a leash we will be on you like white on rice!

Nightlife
Plenty of bars around Brighton, or you can head to Cronulla, Northies is a great pub, or for a sleazy club either ConFusion or Carmens.
