Alexandra Headland

Point breakIntermediate

Alexandra Headland, known locally as 'Alex', is a consistent right-hand point break on the Sunshine Coast that wraps around a rocky headland over sand and reef, producing fast, workable walls well suited to shortboarding. One of the Sunshine Coast's most popular waves, offering better-quality surf than most nearby beach breaks.
