- cheap campsite near the ocean,fresh market everyday were you can eat and drink youreself to death, always had friendly people in the lineup, on good days there are lots of peaks. talk to the surfshopowners and ask how the south, center and nordspots works best and you surf alot more!
the only downside is that you have to guard youre stuff otherwise its just gone... as wel in highseazon as in offseazon! GUARD YOURE STUFF!

there is also a groine at Montalivet. - A friend named Phillipe owns a surf shop in Montalivet. i met him in Bali 8 years ago, i stayed in Mont. for 2 weeks and surfed in a rash vest and boardies in 13 degree waters... ouch! there is a groine at the end of the road that takes you through the heart of the little holiday township. it cranks a nice 2-5 foot left and right! there is also a nudist camp 2-3 km south, population swells from 2,000 to 100,000 in summer!
