Kirra beach is an excellent place with great surfing conditions for beginners to experienced board riders. Kirra is also extremely good for fishing and boating. Kirra is a stunning place with crystal clear waters and fine- white sand, the beach is extremely popular with tourists. If the government built a wave pool at Kirra, there would be much more tourism and employment opportunities for the local community.
