- Best surfed on the sandbank at the car park end, as the tide begins to push, when the bank starts to flood the waves will fade and its time to move up the beach to the next set of rocks, as these start to disappear some decent waves are to be had. As high tide approaches it tends to start closing out. Some good locals use this beach.

one of my prefered places - a wild landscape and some very good waves from time to time, a good complement to other spots in the area... a often you are alone or at least the crowd in the water is just fine

Eddy - A very consistant spot but can get very windy in the afternoons especially. Best at low to mid tide as it creates a backwash after that.
You will often be here alone especially when the nearby campsite is closed. Worth a look if the bay at Sables is flat.
