The surf spot at Kings Beach next to the harbour wall is called fence. Apparently years ago when there wasn't as much sand against the wall the place used to cook as a surf spot. Today its but a shadow of its former self. So where does the name come from? There was a big fence that ran along the harbour wall to stop the fishermen getting up onto the wall from the beach to go fishing. The fence was about 200 meters from the wall but it didn't stop the surfers from catching the big waves closer to the wall.
