I think seeing as its such as popular break there should be some sort of ballot system put in place to reduce the crowds. Crew that want to surf there should have to register and be issued a sticker for their boards that allows them to surf maybe one month out of the year, The sticker can be transparent so you can still see your bluebird logo ![]()

Nah I think its more to do with all the buses full of tourists that pull up in coaches and campervans have picnics or whatever and leave all their rubbish behind...plus where the carparks are now is right on the cliff which is really a fragile part of the area and a nesting spot for a lot of native birds and stuff...they need to move the carpark I think and the toilet block and let nature have its way with the existing area...dunno how achievable that is
I heard sharks had been spotted there...
Better Napalm it in the morning then.
Leave Bells alone , doesn't need changing it's been good since I surfed there 40 years ago as is good know.
Why does it need changeling , leave it the same
Well they (council) could put money where their mouths are and simply hire a worker to do more regular patrols of the beach and car-park, like Parks Vic do with Wilsons Prom. Otherwise leave Bells alone! ![]()
