3 areas:
- a rivermouth on the west side. The sandbar produces a good fast left with tubes.
- the beach with several beach-break peaks.
- a big wave just in front of the rivermouth (only by very big swell).
Atmosphere
Easy to find, tons of peaks: this area becomes crowded during the weekend.
General
There are a lot of chances to have a waves. If waves are too big or sea is too white and streamy you may lead to San Vicente's beach which is 5 minutes away by car to the left (heading the sea) or to Oyambre 5 minutes away to the right
