Lighthouse
Lighthouse is located on the outer side of the Nelson Harbour spit/Breakwater where the lighthouse stands. Its a right hand point break onto a rocky shore. It requires a big over 6 foot cyclone swell to get it working, but when its on you will find long powerful right handers with gnarly drop ins. Advanced and expert surfers only.
