Reaching out to the end of Sovereign Islands and back, lit up on a 5.9 and 110l freeride gear. No boats, just a pod of dolphins to avoid.
The sunlight occasionally peaked through the grey clouds to create an aquamarine foreground. Super high tide meant crystal clear water for a change.
One of the best sails I've ever had. 5 big smileys.

Works best on a high tide like today.
i used to sail there occasionally panda with my formula kit at high tide. nice big open area and always had a good session.
not sure if it's my imagination but i always felt the SE winds more consistent there than shearwater?
Half your luck i was at what i think is called The Train, end of smith/north street. It was gusty, and just not enough wind to have a good session.
sailed all the way from sw to the train carpark via the grand, and had a run all the way back to the sw via the seaway entrance
one of the bestest easterlies i've ever had 
nice. was worth the sail.
it has the longest runs and has manageable side-on chop which would probably suit the slalomers in a winter southerly (rather than the shearwater's ramps)
grass to rig on and a little sandy beach
unfortunately no tap or sh!tter, unless EP knows something i don't
Tap and ****ter at next beach South:

Also has grass rigging area, but has those angular concrete reenforcement thingies to walk down to get to sand. Balance required (but really not that hard).
Again, you want a decent tide to sail there in a S/SE as that enormous sand bank is actually dry at low tide... hmmm. Outgoing best of course/same as Shearwater.
Also very nice in a NE where you just sail the boat channel, same direction as the boats.
