| Access |
| To get to The Box you have to go to the Central Coast on Umina Beach. The Box is situated on the left from Umina. The wave runs along side the Killcare Mountain. The best way to get to the Box is by parking your car at the Ettalong ramp and get a boat ride.
It is an extream paddle, 1.5 km watch for the rip! getting caught inside is no good. |
