Cape Liptrap is a fairly exposed reef break on the Cape Liptrap headland, one of those South Gippsland point-and-cliff surf zones that only wakes up when the right swell and wind line up. It is a winter-leaning, condition-dependent spot with an exposed park setting rather than a casual beach break.
