If you need help fishing the Reef and finding parking, I'll be your guide. I've been fishing there since I was 10 and have grandparents who use to own a place right near there on Fairfield Beach.

Feel free to send me a PM

Will- If you cant find parking on Reef Road or surrounding roads(across from Seagrape), you can always park at Veterans Park a little ways up Reef Road past Seagrape towards but not near 7-11. Everywhere you park you have to walk (just a matter of how far).

There is no parking lot for the reef. The path to the reef is a narrow path to the beach marked by a sign saying Lighthouse Point. The fence along the path is painted with cartoon characters. Hope this helps.

I stopped down on my way from work Wednesday night. It was beautiful out, and the water was smooth as glass. I got out about 2 hours after hight tide, and there was a TON of bait off the left side of the reef. Unfortunately, there was nothing hitting them, aside from a random blue here and there.
