Narrowneck is a mid-Gold Coast beach break between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, known for its artificial reef which was installed to improve surf and combat erosion. The geotextile reef can produce better-shaped waves than typical Gold Coast beach break, creating a right-hander on the right swell angle.
