Atmosphere
It's a beautiful Caribbean beach. Something you would see on a post card. Locals are friendly.
Its a fickle spot. Wave works on a north swell which is predominantly going to happen during the winter months when big cold fronts sweep across the Atlantic off the eastern seaboard of the US.
The reef is live coral and very shallow. During a decent swell you can very well find yourself getting bounced off the reef. Sure to leave you with some nice cuts.
The left is short and hollow. Comparable to Ala Moana during a big north swell. The right runs down the reef and has some hollow sections.

Who ever made this contribution did better go to the beach and pick up waste but wasting his and our time with senseless crap.
