Tarcoola Beach is Geraldton's southern surf beach, a long city-side shoreline where the waves sit between sandy beachbreak and light reef influence. It is the place locals go when the reefs and heavier spots do not suit, and it still throws up a proper session when southwest swell meets a clean northeast wind.
