Additional Information

The reefs have rights and lefts. Fairly easy paddle out to them and there are many. Long stretch of beach so plenty of beach breaks arond too. Works best on good solid groundswells. Can get sic barrels on the right days here and theres usually waves here.

Atmosphere

Cool place. Any level experience surfer can surf the beachies. Watch out for sharks and pollution. Ive heard it can get crowded though never seen many people myself. Come in the right time and you won't be dissapointed.

General

Wouldnt come alone. Watch out for thieves when parking your car.
