I would say probably less then halfway from the spit to the wood fiber, the cliff reach the water. I would think you can only go by boat look like 60 to 80 meter high maybe higher. i tough i saw some kind of rig to anchor a boat or climber

The crags over there have seen several deep water solos by Matt Maddaloni and others. I believe one of them is called Ocean's Wall.
