This place has an actual reef break. There are 5 sets of worm coral parallel to the beach extending for about a 1/2 mile to St. Lucie Inlet. At low tide, the closest reed is exposed for about 200 yards. Inside is butter, outside jacks huge! This is an advanced only spot for sure. It's just south of a known Florida surf break called the 'Rocks'. Lots of aggressive bull-sharks, be warned.

Extra information
Stay out of the Guarded areas. Ask a local kiter! Careful of the fall mullet run, sharks are very prevalent, they do bite! A kiter was killed by a bullshark around here.
