Additional Information
World class boxy right reef barrel. Lots of fun. been surfed since late 60's. There is a surf camp in Bull bay which the owners are the Wilmot family, pioneers of surfing in the island.Bottom drops out on the short ledgy right like a Mo fo. Watch out for the urchins, its pretty shallow! Left is longer and more forgiving with a few coral heads.
Atmosphere
Remote and spooky. Sometimes a reef shark or two. take a local with you. Jamaicans surfers are very friendly and respect you if you respect them, like any spot in the world.

peruvian surfer - how bad are the urchins in this break are they the white ones with short spines, or is it infested with the freaky black ones with 6 inch spines?
